Take a pint of pumpkin that has been stewed soft, and pressed through a
cullender. Melt in half a pint of warm milk, a quarter of a pound of
butter, and the same quantity of sugar, stirring them well together. If
you can conveniently procure a pint of rich cream it will be better
than the milk and butter. Beat eight eggs very light, and add them
gradually to the other ingredients, alternately with the pumpkin. Then
stir in a wine glass of rose water and two glasses of wine mixed
together; a large tea-spoonful of powdered mace and cinnamon mixed, and
a grated nutmeg. Having stirred the whole very hard, put it into a
buttered dish and bake it three quarters of an hour.
A SQUASH PUDDING.
Pare, cut in pieces, and stew in a very little water, a yellow winter
squash. When it is quite soft, drain it dry, and mash it in a
cullender. Then put it into a pan, and mix with it a quarter of a pound
of butter. Prepare two pounded crackers, or an equal quantity of grated
stale bread. Stir gradually a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar into
a quart of rich milk, and add by degrees, the squash, and the powdered
biscuit. Beat nine eggs very light, and stir them gradually into the
mixture. Add a glass of white wine, a glass of brandy, a glass of rose
water, and a table-spoonful of mixed spice, nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon
powdered. Stir the whole very hard, till all the ingredients are
thoroughly mixed. Bake it three quarters of an hour in a buttered dish;
and when cold, grate white sugar over it.
YAM PUDDING.
Take one pound of roasted yam, and rub it through a cullender. Mix with
it half a pound of white sugar, a pint of cream or half a pound of
butter, a tea-spoonful of powdered cinnamon, a grated nutmeg, and a
wine glass of rose water, and one of wine. Set it away to get cold.
Then beat six eggs very light. Stir them into the mixture. Put it into
a buttered dish and bake it half an hour. Grate sugar over it when
cold.
CHESTNUT PUDDING,
May be made in the above manner.
POTATO PUDDING.
Boil a pound of fine potatoes, peel them, mash them, and rub them
through a cullender. Stir together to a cream, three quarters of a
pound of sugar and the same quantity of butter. Add to them gradually,
a wine glass of rose water, a glass of wine, and a glass of brandy; a
tea-spoonful of powdered mace and cinnamon, a grated nutmeg, and the
juice and grated peel of a large lemon. Then beat six eggs very light,
and add them by degrees to the mixture, alternately with the potato.
Bake it three quarters of an hour in a buttered dish.
