- 3 fresh eggs beaten with 6 tablespoonfuls of flour
- Stir gradually into a quart of milk
- 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar
- 1 tablespoonful of butter
- 1 teaspoonful of salt
- 1/2 nutmeg, grated
- 1 teaspoonful of essence lemon,or peach water
Directions
Beat all well together, pour into a buttered basin or mold and steam two hours, or boil in a bag. 3 bitter almonds blanched and grated make a nice flavoring. If eggs are scarce, 1 may be used, and 4 tablespoonfuls more flour added; beat the egg thoroughly. 1 pint of thinly sliced apples may be stirred in at the last and will be found a great improvement. Serve with cream and sugar, or butter and sugar beaten t a cream and flavored with 1/2 teaspoonful vanilla. This may be thinned, if desired, with a little hot water.
Sour milk or buttermilk may be substituted for sweet, in which case use 1 even teaspoonful of soda in place of the baking powder.
A quart of any kind of fresh berries or pitted cherries, may be stirred in instead of apples.
