_Ingredients._—1½ pint of milk, 3 tablespoonfuls of sago, the rind of
½ lemon, 3 oz. of sugar, 4 eggs, 1½ oz. of butter, grated nutmeg,
puff-paste. _Mode._—Put the milk and lemon-rind into a stewpan, place
it by the side of the fire, and let it remain until the milk is well
flavoured with the lemon; then strain it, mix with it the sago and
sugar, and simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Let the mixture cool
a little, and stir to it the eggs, which should be well beaten, and
the butter. Line the edges of a pie-dish with puff-paste, pour in the
pudding, grate a little nutmeg over the top, and bake from ¾ to 1 hour.
_Time._—¾ to 1 hour, or longer if the oven is very slow. _Average
cost_, 1_s._ _Sufficient_ for 5 or 6 persons. _Seasonable_ at any time.
_Note._—The above pudding may be boiled instead of baked; but then
allow 2 extra tablespoonfuls of sago, and boil the pudding in a
buttered basin from 1¼ to 1¾ hour.
