Orange Pudding

Mrs. Carson.

Peel and cut five good oranges into thin slices, taking out all seeds; put over them a coffee cup of fine white sugar. Let a pint of milk get boiling hot. by setting in hot water; add the yolks of three eggs well beaten, one tablespoon of corn starch made smooth in a little cold milk; stir all the time, and as soon as thickened pour it over the fruit. Beat the whites to a stiff froth, add a tablespoon of sugar, and spread it over the top for frosting; set in oven a minute to harden. Can be eaten hot, but is best cold.
