ALMOND PUDDING, No. 1

Take the whites of seven eggs with the yolks of ten, one-half pound of
pulverized sweet almonds with one-half ounce of pounded bitter almonds,
one-half pound of powdered sugar and one tablespoon of orange-flower
water. Beat the eggs well with the orange water, then add the sugar and
almonds gradually; beat all for one hour or until it bubbles; then
grease deep pie-dishes with olive oil and pour in the mixture. They must
be baked in a rather moderate oven. When the mixture is set and browned
place over them a paper greased with olive oil to prevent them getting
dark. Serve cold.

Powdered sugar should be sprinkled freely over the pudding before
serving. If you wish to have them very rich boil one-half pound of sugar
with one-half pint of water until it thickens; cool and pour over the
pudding when you take it from the oven.

ALMOND PUDDING, No. 2

Take one pound blanched almonds pounded, eight eggs, cinnamon, and lemon
rind. Beat the eggs for twenty minutes, then add one and one-half cups
of sugar gently, and then the almonds; mix all together thoroughly. Bake
in shallow pans and serve cold.

ALMOND HILLS

Roast one-quarter pound of sweet almonds, cut into strips lengthwise in
a spider of heated sugar, not too brown. Beat one-half pound of sifted
powdered sugar and the whites of five eggs to a very stiff froth. Mix
all thoroughly and place teaspoonfuls of this mixture on waxed paper,
and bake a light brown, in slow oven.

APPLE SPONGE PUDDING

Pare eight apples and cut off the tops carefully, so as to be able to
use them as covers to the apples. Now scrape out the inside with a
knife, being careful not to break the apple. Mix the scrapings with
sugar, raisins, cinnamon, pounded almonds and a little white wine. Fill
this mixture into the hollow of the apple and clap on a cover for each
apple; then grease a pudding dish, lay in the apples and stew them for a
few minutes, but not long enough to break them. Make a sponge cake
batter of eight eggs and two scant cups of sugar and a pinch of salt and
add the grated peel of a lemon and beat until thick, at least half an
hour. Fold in a cup of matzoth flour, sifted very fine. Pour this batter
over the apples and bake in a moderate oven. Serve with wine sauce. Half
this quantity is sufficient for a small family.

GRATED APPLE PUDDING

Take six good-sized apples, six yolks of eggs, one-half cup of sugar (or
to taste), one-half pound
