PRINCE CONSORT'S PUDDING (another way)

Crumble six ounces of stale spongecake. Pour over them milk flavoured with almonds prepared as follows. Blanch two ounces of sweet almonds and four bitter ones. Simmer them softly for half an hour in a quarter of a pint of milk, then pound them to a paste, and mix them again with the milk. Add to the mixture a pinch of salt, two ounces of powdered sugar, the yolks of four eggs and the white of one, three table-spoonfuls of thick cream, and two of brandy. Mix these ingredients thoroughly, then pour the pudding into a buttered mould, steam, and serve according to the directions given in the previous recipe. Time to steam, about three-quarters of an hour. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for three or four persons.
