LEMON PUDDING. 145 garnish its top. Line the mould with the lady fingers, placing them perpendicularly around with their flat sides against the sides of the mould. Break up what remains of the lady fingers and throw the pieces into the centre of the mould. Crush the ratifias in the hand, and throw them in also, and upon this the stale cake, broken into small irregular pieces. Put the sugar into a bowl, and with it the eggs, beating these together until very light with a fork. When this is beaten, add to it the milk and vanilla ; pour this mixture into the mould slowly, letting it have time to soak into the cake, and so making room enough for all of the liquid. When filled, cover the mould with a piece of greased kitchen-paper, and standing it into a sauce-pan containing sufficient boiling water to reach half-way up the sides of the tin, allow the pudding to boil in this for one hour and twenty minutes. When done, remove the mould from the sauce-pan, let it cool a moment, and then turning the pudding out upon a flat pudding-dish, serve it immediately with a lemon sauce poured around, the directions for making which will be found among the sweet sauces, page 179.
