277. _A Baked Rice Pudding, without eggs._

Pick over and wash two small tea-cups of rice, and put it into two

quarts of milk. Melt a small tea-cup of butter, and put in, together

with two of sugar, a grated nutmeg, and a couple of tea-spoonsful of

salt, and bake the pudding about two hours. This pudding does not need

any sauce, and is good either hot or cold. If you wish to have the

pudding very rich, add, when it has been baking five or six minutes,

half a pound of raisins.
