=Plum Roly Poly.=--Wash and stew any ripe sound plums and remove the
pits. If very juicy, drain away the most of the juice. Sweeten to taste.
Make a good biscuit dough or puff paste as preferred, roll out in long
strips, sprinkle sugar on the upper side, then spread thinly with the
stewed plums, roll up and pinch the ends tight. Put in buttered bag and
cook thirty minutes. Serve with a sauce made from the extra juice
sweetened and slightly thickened with a little cornstarch.
=Rye Bread Pudding.=--Toast stale rye bread to a golden brown, then roll
into fine crumbs. Brush small custard cups or a mould with melted
butter, sprinkle over a few currants, raisins, prunes (cut fine) or
figs, then fill with crumbs. Beat three eggs without separating until
light, add three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a pint of milk (with vanilla
or nutmeg to flavor) and pour carefully over the bread crumbs. Let them
stand ten minutes, until the mixture has soaked into the crumbs; then
set in a paper bag in a pan of cold water and cook like a custard in the
oven. It will take about half an hour. Test by slipping the blade of the
knife down the side of the bag. If it comes up clear, the pudding is
sufficiently baked. Serve hot with lemon or egg sauce or fruit syrup.
=Tapioca Apple Pudding.=--Soak one cupful tapioca in three pints cold
water over night. In the morning put on to boil and cook twenty or
thirty minutes, until it looks clear. Add a quart and a half peeled and
quartered apples, one cup of sugar, a teaspoonful salt, and lemon juice
or extract to flavor. Turn into a buttered dish, put in bag and bake an
hour in a moderate oven. When cold serve with cream and sugar.
=A White Plum Pudding.=--Beat to a cream a half cup of sugar and
three-quarters cup of butter. Add four eggs well beaten, a saltspoonful
of salt, two cups milk, a quart of flour mixed with one-half cup
shredded citron, one-half cup currants, a teaspoonful grated nutmeg and
a teaspoonful vanilla. Just before turning into the mould stir in two
even tablespoonfuls pure baking powder. Put in bag, surround with water,
steam two hours and serve with any good sauce.
PUDDING SAUCES.
=Caramel Sauce.=--Put one-half cupful of sugar over the fire in a clean,
smooth saucepan and stir until it becomes a light brown color. Pour in
a half cupful of boiling water, simmer ten minutes, add a tablespoonful
of butter and serve with pudding or fritters.
=Cornstarch Pudding Sauce.=--Beat together one tablespoonful cornstarch,
two tablespoonfuls of butter and a half cupful of brown sugar. Set on
the stove until heated, then turn in hot water a little at a time and
cook until consistency required. Add four tablespoonfuls of grape or
apple jelly with spices or other flavoring to taste, and serve hot.
=Cream Sauce.=--Mix together two tablespoonfuls each of cornstarch and
sugar. Add one beaten egg and cook in double boiler until thickened. Add
a tablespoonful of butter and flavoring to taste.
