To prepare a crust take one pint of flour, one tablespoonful of lard, one-half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in hot water, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar and one-half teaspoonful of salt, sifted through the flour. Use sweet milk or water and mix the dough a little stiffer than for bis- cuits; roll out a little thicker than pie crust, cut into squares and put in the center of each a nice, sour apple, pared and cored; fill the hole left by the core with sugar, a bit of butter and a little crab-apple jelly; bring the corners of the dough together, pinching them well to make a firm ball; tie in loose cloths, which have been dipped in hot water and floured on the inside. Boil steadily in plenty of water one hour. Some prefer these steamed or baked. Serve hot with sweetened cream or butter and sugar. Marion Lovewell. FIG PUDDING.
