June 21st : BATTER PUDDING
Beat up, with a whisk, four new-laid eggs; when the yolks and whites are well mixed, gently crumble in four ounces of finely sifted flour, in which half a tea-spoonful of salt has been mixed; pour upon the flour and egg half a pint of cream or new milk, and add a table-spoonful of powdered white sugar, and enough grated nutmeg to cover a sixpence.
See that the mould be well buttered ; pour in the batter, cover the bottom with buttered paper, and secure all with a proper cloth. This pudding will require an hour and a quarter's boiling. Pour wine sauce over it before sending to table.
