1 quart milk.
4 eggs.
3 cups chopped apple.
1 lemon—all the juice and half the rind.
Nutmeg and cinnamon.
¼ teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little vinegar.
Flour for a stiff batter.
Beat the yolks very light, add the milk, seasoning, and flour. Stir
hard five minutes, and beat in the apple, then the whites, lastly the
soda, well mixed in.
Bake in two square shallow pans one hour, and eat hot, with sweet
sauce. Much of the success of this pudding depends upon the
mixing—almost as much upon the baking. Cover with paper when half done,
to prevent hardening.
