Orange Pudding

Rub the rind of a large orange upon three or four lumps of sugar until all the yellow part is taken off. Make the sugar up to four ounces, put it into a bowl, and strain over it the juice of four oranges. Pour half a pint of boiling milk over three ounces of bruised ratafias or spongecake which have been finely crumbled. Add a pinch of salt and a quarter of a small nutmeg, grated. Mix thoroughly the contents of the two bowls, and stir in three well-beaten eggs. Line the edges of a pie-dish with good puff-paste, pour in the mixture, sprinkle a tea-spoonful of powdered ratafias over the top, and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. Probable cost, 1s. 2d. Sufficient for three or four persons.
