Puritan's Pudding

Grate three ounces of stale crumb of bread, put it into a bowl, with a pinch of salt, the eighth part of a nutmeg, grated, an ounce of the kernel of a fresh cocoa-nut, finely grated, two table-spoonfuls of powdered and sifted sugar, and an inch of thin lemon-rind. Mix these ingredients well together, then pour over them a pint of milk, which has been beaten up with two well-whisked eggs. Let the crumbs soak for two hours or more. Beat the mixture well with a fork, pour it into a dish, and bake in a moderate oven. Time to bake, half an hour. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for three or four persons.
