Marmalade Pudding.— Four units sugar, 4 of hread-crumb.s, 4 of marmalade, 4 of finely-minced suet, and 8 of eggs. Mix, beat the eggs well, and boil in a mould for at least two hours. Remem- ber the maxim for puddings in which there is suet, ‘‘An overboiled suet pudding is poison,” which means that suet puddings cannot be overboiled. These proportions of suet, and bread-crumbs, and fioui, sugai, or butter are the foundation of dozens of puddings with grand names. The only dilference lies in the flavouring. 1 reacle, jam, preserved ginger, raisins, figs, &c., may he substituted for the marmalade, butter for the suet, and flour for the bread- crumbs. This is the foundation of all suet puddings. 14. Moss Pudding.— Two units fresh butter and the chopped yellow peel of 2 lemons, 2 units white sugar. Mix till like cream, then beat into it 0 units yolk of egg and the juice of a lemon. When nearly white, add 2 units flour mid 6 units whipped white of egg.
