|AKE eight eggs ; beat whites and yolks sepa- rately ; first balance the eight eggs with pul- verized sugar and four eggs in flour, after it has been sifted twice ; beat sugar and yolks together, then add the whites and the juice and rind of a large lemonCardinal Richelieu Pudding; the rind must be grated fine. Last of all add flour, which must be cut in with a knife. Don't stir at all after adding flour. Grease a pretty mold (a Turk's head is the best) and pour the batter in. Bake quickly. Then make three pints of rich custard, the yolks of five eggs to a pint ; sweeten and season with vanilla. When the cake is perfectly cold — it should always be made a day or so beforehand — cut it carefully across twice, and spread currant or pine apple jelly, or the preserved grated pine apple, be- tween the layers of cake ; put it together carefully so it will not be seen it has been cut ; then have one-half pound of almonds blanched and stick them thick all over the cake with small, thin pieces of citron, and then pour one-pint of good sherry wine over the cake; let it stand all night ; keep the custard on the ice, and just before dinner put the cake in a handsome dish and pour the custard all over it. This is a dish fit for the gods. AND HOW TO COOK THEM. 149 WOLF PUDDING. BY MRS. B. H, NORTON. (Wife of Representative from Missouri.)
