When she got home, she remembered that Mrs. Holden had not got the
recipe that had been promised; so she wrote it out at once and posted
it to her lest she should want to use it before they met next Thursday.
_Hashed Calf’s Head._—Cut the remains of a cooked calf’s head into
neat pieces. Chop a large onion and cook it in three tablespoonfuls
of vinegar for ten minutes; add a dessertspoonful of Chutney and two
tablespoonfuls of flour mixed with a gill of cold stock. Stir until it
boils, stir in a pint of the stock in which the head was cooked; season
well and colour with browning. Put in the slices of head, and simmer
very gently for half an hour.

FRUIT PUDDINGS.
By the Author of “Summer Puddings,” “Savouries,” etc.
So many people get tired of the ordinary way of serving fruit simply
stewed or as a tart, that I hope the following collection of recipes
of different and dainty ways of utilising fruit may be used to vary
somewhat the monotony of a wholesome article of diet.
_Apple Pudding._—Six apples peeled and cut up in pieces, one quince,
half a teacupful of water, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, the rind of
half a lemon, one teaspoonful of lemon juice and a piece of butter the
size of an egg. Put all into an enamelled pan and stew to a soft pulp
and rub through a sieve. If the apples have been cooked very soft and
are free from lumps, then it is not necessary to put them through a
sieve.
Into the pulp stir three eggs, well beaten, a quarter of a pound
of stale bread or cake crumbs grated, a dash of nutmeg, and two
tablespoonfuls of milk. Pour into a tin mould previously well buttered
inside and dusted with crumbs and bake in a good oven for quite an
hour, turn out and serve with fine sugar over the top.
_Apple Soufflé._—Butter the outside of a pie-dish and cover with pastry
made as follows—
Six ounces of flour, three ounces of butter, two teaspoonfuls of sugar,
and the yolk of an egg. Rub butter, sugar, and flour together, then
mix to a paste with the beaten yolk and a little water. Roll out in
the usual way, cut to the size of your dish, cover, and put into a
good oven to bake, and slip off, and then you have a dish of paste.
Meanwhile peel and core one and a half pounds of apples, and stew them
with a quarter of a pound of sugar and juice and grated rind of half a
lemon till quite soft; then stir in half-a-dozen ratafia biscuits and
a penny sponge cake crumbled down, the yolks of two eggs and a drop of
water. Cook on the fire again for a minute or two, then pour into the
pastry-dish and spread over the top the whites of the three eggs beaten
to a stiff froth with a tablespoonful of sifted sugar, dust sugar on
the top and ornament with ratafia biscuits and preserved cherries to
taste, then place in a nearly cold oven to slightly brown.
