RECIPE

Lemon Pudding.
Boil very tender, in at least two but by preference three
waters, the thinly-shaved rind of two lemons ; then beat
this very fine in a mortar with the pulp of the lemons,
perfectly freed from skin and kernels, and add three-quarters
of a pound of loaf-sugar sifted, four biscuits grated, the
yolks of ten eggs Beaten with a little of the best brandy
one ounce of citron, and one ounce of lemon-peel shredded
fine : when all is mixed, stir it into half a pound of clarified
butter, and keep stirring one way till it is cold. Then
bake it in a puff paste.
Another Way.
Beat up the yolks of four eggs with four ounces of
lump sugar, rub thereto the rind of a lemon, then peel
the same, and beat it in a mortar, with the juice of a
largo one. 112ix the whole with four or five ounces of
warmed butter. Lay a crust in a shallow dish, notch the
edges, and put in the pudding, but when baked, turn it
out into another dish for the table.
