A PLAIN QUAKING-PUDDING
Take about three Pints of new morning Milk, and six or seven new laid Eggs,
putting away half the whites, and two spoonfuls of fine-flower, about a
quarter of a Nutmeg grated, and about a quarter of a pound of Sugar (more
or less, according to your taste,) After all these are perfectly mingled
and incorporated together, put the matter into a fit bag, and so put it
into boiling water, and boil it up with a quick fire. If you boil it too
long, the Milk will turn to whay in the body or substance of the Pudding,
and there will be a slimy gelly all about the outside. But in about half an
hour, it will be tenderly firm, and of an uniform consistence all over.
You need not put in any Butter or Marrow or Suet, or other Spice, but the
small proportion of Nutmeg set down, not grated bread. For the Sauce, you
pour upon it thickened melted Butter, beaten with a little Sack, or
Orange-flower water, and Sugar; or compounded in what manner you please, as
in other such like Puddings.
A GOOD QUAKING BAG-PUDDING
Set a quart of good morning Milk upon the fire, having seasoned it with
Salt, and sliced or grated Nutmeg.
