PUDDINGS

The proof of the pudding lies in the eating."

APPLE PUDDING. MRS. G. H. WRIGHT.

Six good-sized apples, stewed and well beaten; six eggs, beaten

separately; one pint of sweet cream; sweeten and flavor to taste.

Bake with an under crust. It can be eaten with whipped cream and is

excellent.

APPLE BATTER PUDDING. MISS KITTIE M. SMITH.

Mix together one cup flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, a pinch

of salt; into this rub one tablespoonful of butter. Beat one egg, and

stir into it half a cup of milk; add this to the flour, etc. Pare and

slice two sour apples, and press into the dough. Bake about one-half

hour. The beauty of this pudding is that you are always sure of

success. This recipe makes enough for a family of four.

SAUCE.--One cup of sugar, two-thirds of a cup of butter, two

tablespoonfuls of flour, three gills of boiling water; boil three

minutes; flavor to taste.

APPLE ROLL. MRS. W. H. ECKHART.

Roll plain pie crust as you would for pie, but a little larger; chop

up some apples, and cover this crust; add a layer of sugar, and

sprinkle with cinnamon; then add a layer of raisins, and sprinkle with

bits of citron, chopped fine. Roll all up; pinch the crust closely

together at sides and ends; place in dripping pan with one-half a cup

of butter, and one cup of sugar; pour enough boiling water over it to

half cover the roll; put in oven and bake three hours; baste every

half hour as you would turkey. When done, the roll will have a crust

like taffy. Take out, and serve sliced thin. It is delicious.

BIRDS NEST PUDDING. MRS. JOHN KISHLER.

Pare six or eight large good cooking apples; remove the core by

cutting from the end into the middle, so as to leave the apple whole;

place them in a deep pie dish, as near together as they can stand,

with the opening upward. Make a thin batter, using one quart of milk,

three eggs, and sufficient flour; pour this into the dish around the

apples and into the cavities. Bake in a quick oven. Serve with

butter and sugar.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING. MRS. ALICE KRANER.

one quart sweet milk; bake two hours, and serve with this--
