egg, 4 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon powdered cinnamon, 1 tablespoon
Crisco, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Well wash rice, sprinkle it into boiling water and cook gently until
all water is absorbed. Heat milk, in double saucepan if possible, add
half-cooked rice and boil gently until it is perfectly soft and of
thick creamy consistency. Should it become too thick before it is
really soft, add more milk. Beat egg, until very light, add half sugar
to it. When rice is cooked, whisk egg in at once, a little at a time.
Then add salt and piece of Crisco size of walnut. Turn mixture into
dish in which it is to be served. Mix rest of sugar with cinnamon.
Sprinkle this evenly over top of rice. Put rest of Crisco in small
pieces over top of pudding just before it is required. Place pudding
in front of fire, or in oven for second or two, when Crisco, etc.,
will form a delicious sauce over surface of pudding.
