~ORANGE PUDDING~--Take one cup of fine stale breadcrumbs, not dried, and
moisten them with as much milk as they will absorb and become thoroughly
softened. Beat the yolks of four eggs with the whites of two, add four
tablespoons of sugar and the grated peel of one orange, using of course
only the outer cells. Stir this into the softened crumbs, then beat the
other two whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture. Turn it
into a well buttered mold and steam it two hours. Turn out into a hot
dish and serve with orange sauce.

and sprinkle three-fourths of a cup of sugar over all, then bake in a
very hot oven until a light brown.

Have some small pudding cloths about twelve inches square, wring them
out of hot water and lay them over a small half pint bowl. Spread the
rice one-third of an inch thick over the cloth, and fill the center with

berries and they are good round shape. Tie the ends of the cloth firmly,
drop them into boiling water and cook twenty minutes. Remove the cloth
and serve with lemon sauce.
