turn it about a few minutes to prevent the egg going to one side. Half an hour will boil it. Put currant jelly on it, and serve with sweet sauce. _A Rich Rice Pudding._ Boil half a pound of rice in water, with a little bit of salt, till quite tender: drain it dry. Mix it with the yelks and whites of four eggs, a quarter of a pint of cream, with two ounces of fresh butter melted in the latter, four ounces of beefsuet, or marrow, or veal suet taken from a fillet of veal, finely shred, three quarters of a pound of currants, two spoonfuls of brandy, one of peachwater, or ratafia, nutmeg, and grated lemonpeel. When well mixed, put a paste round the edge, and fill the dish. Slices of candid orange, lemon, and citron, if approved. Bake in a moderate oven. _Millet Pudding._ Wash three spoonfuls of the seed; put it into the dish, with a crust round the edges: pour over it as much new milk as shall nearly fill the dish, two ounces of butter warmed with it, sugar, shred lemon, and a little scrape of ginger and nutmeg. As you put it in the oven, stir in two eggs beaten; and a spoonful of shred suet. _An excellent plain Potatoe Pudding._ Take eight ounces of boiled potatoes, two ounces of butter, the yelks and whites of two eggs, a quarter of a pint of cream, one spoonful of white wine, a morsel of salt, the juice and rind of a lemon. Beat all to a froth: sugar to taste. A crust or not, as you like. Bake it. If wanted richer, put three ounces more butter, sweatmeats and almonds, and another egg. _Carrot Pudding._ Beat a large carrot tender: bruise it well, and mix with it a tablespoonful of biscuit beaten to powder or four Naples biscuit, four yelks and two whites of eggs, a pint of scalded cream, some rose, or orange flower water, a little ratafia, nutmeg, and sugar. If you have no scalded cream, raw will do, if very thick.
