put on top a layer of biscuits a la cuillere (No. 1231), or slices of sponge
cake, four more ounces of fruit, another layer of cake, and repeat twice
more, and the mold will then be full. Put into a vessel a pint and a half

spoonful of vanilla flavoring. Stir well, and let boil for one minute, then

citron, slice it as fine as possible, also one ounce of finely minced pistache;
add them to the other ingredients, and finally stir in slowly a tablespoon-
ful of red cura£oa; mix well together for one minute, then pour into the
sauce-bowl, and serve.
1166. Caramel Pudding. — Put in a vessel four eggs with three ounces
of powdered sugar, mix briskly with the pastry-whip for two minutes,

essence; then mix well again for one minute, strain this through a sieve
into another vessel. Butter and sugar well six small molds✪ Caramel Pudding as for maras-
chino pudding (No. 1134), fill them one inch high with caramel (No. 1252),

equally; place them in a tin pan filled to half the height of the molds with
warm but not boiling water, put in a moderate oven, and let steam for
forty minutes. Take them out, turn them on a hot dessert-dish, and
