Parliament Pudding

Whisk the yolks of seven and the whites of four eggs well, first separately and afterwards together. Boil half a pound of loaf sugar with a pint of water, skim it carefully. When it is a clear syrup, pour it over the eggs, add the strained juice of a large lemon, and the yellow part of half of it, which has been rubbed upon sugar and powdered. Beat the mixture for several minutes, and whilst beating shake in gradually half a pound of dried flour. Take care there are no lumps in the batter. Pour it into a buttered tin, and bake it in a well-heated oven till it is nicely set--say for about three quarters of an hour. Probable cost, 1s. 2d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
