_*Bird's Nest Pudding_--3 eggs, 3/4 cup flour, 6 tablespoons Crisco,
1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup blanc-mange, pinch baking powder, pistachio
nuts or cocoanut, angelica and apricot jam.
Break eggs into basin, add sugar to them, and beat over saucepan of
hot water until mixture is consistency of thick cream. Melt Crisco;
sieve flour and baking powder together. Stir Crisco and flour quickly
and lightly into egg mixture, turn into well-criscoed mold, and bake
in a moderate oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn out when done, and let
the cake get cold. Rub some apricot jam through a hair sieve, put a
thin layer of this over the cake, roll it either in chopped pistachio
nuts or desiccated cocoanut. Stand on a dish. Have ready some
blanc-mange eggs, fill the center with these, and arrange round the
base of the nest some pieces of angelica to represent twigs. It is now
ready to serve. The blanc-mange eggs are made by either filling some
egg-molds with blanc-mange, or by emptying out some eggs, and using
the shells. The eggs must be emptied through as small a hole as
possible. When set, the shells are broken away carefully.
