Take your Oatmeal well picked, and put into it a little Salt, some
Raisins and Currans, and some beaten spice, and good store of Beef Suet
finely shred, so tie it up hard in a Cloth, and let your water boil when
you put it in; and let it boil very well; if you would butter it, then
leave out the Suet; and if you would leave out the Fruit, then put in
sweet herbs good store.
275. _To make Almond puddings a different way from the other._
Take two Manchets and grate them, then scald them in some Cream, then
put in some Almonds Blanched and beaten as you do other, with Rosewater,
let there be about half a pound, then put in eight Eggs well beaten,
some Spice, Sugar, Salt and Marrow, and having your Guts well scowred
and scraped, fill them, but not too full, and boil them as you do the
other; or bake it if you please; Currans will do well in it.
276. _To make a Quaking Pudding._
Take Grated Bread, a little Flower, Sugar, Salt, beaten Spice, and store
of Eggs well beaten, mix these well, and beat them together, then dip a
clean Cloth in hot water, and flower it over, and let one hold it at
the four corners till you put it in, so tie it up hard, and let your
Water boil when you put it in, then boil it for one hour, and serve it
in with Sack, Sugar and Butter.
277. _To make good Dumplings._
Take some Flower and a little Salt, and a little Ale-Yest, and so much
water as will make it into a Paste, so let your water boil when you do
put them in; boil them but a little while, and then butter them.
278. _Another way to make Dumplings._
Take half a quarter of a Peck of Flower, and one Egg, yolk and white,
half a Pound of Butter broke in little Bits, mix them together with so
much cold Milk as will make it up, do not break your Butter too small,
for then they will not flake; make them up like Rouls of Butter, and
when your water boils, put them in, and do not boil them too much, then
butter them.
279. _Another way to make Dumplings._
Take Flower and temper it very light with Eggs, Milk, or rather Cream,
beaten Spice, Salt, and a little Sugar, then wet a Cloth in hot water,
and flower it, and so boil it for a Pudding, or else make it pretty
stiff with the Flower and a little grated Bread, and so boil them for
Dumplings, then butter them, and serve them in.
280. _To make a green Pudding to Butter._
Take a Quart of Cream and boil it, then put in twelve Eggs, yolks and
whites well beaten, and one Manchet grated small, a little salt, beaten
Spice and some Sugar:
Then colour it well with some Juice of Spinage, or if you will have it
yellow, colour it with Saffron, so boil it in a wet Cloth flowred as
before, and serve it in with Wine, Sugar and Butter, and stick it with
blanched Almonds split in halves, and pour the sauce over it, and it
will look like a Hedghog.
