Boil some cinnamon in a quart of milk, and then strain it. While
the milk is hot, stir into it a pint of molasses, and then add by
degrees a quart or more of Indian meal so as to make a thick
batter. It will be much improved by the grated peel and juice of a
large lemon or orange. Tie it very securely in a thick cloth,
leaving room for it to swell, and pasting up the tying-place with
a lump of flour and water. Put it into a pot of boiling water,
(having ready a kettle to fill it up as it boils away,) hang it
over a good fire, and keep it boiling hard for four or five hours.
Eat it warm with molasses and butter.
This is a very economical, and not an unpalatable pudding; and may
be found convenient when it is difficult to obtain eggs.
