Boiled Bread Pudding

¾ pound of bread cut in pieces and soaked soft in cold water. Bub fine and mix with it -

2 tablespoonfuls flour. 3 eggs. 1 tablespoonful melted butter.

½ teaspoonful salt and cold milk sufficient to make a thick batter. Mix well and turn into a floured pudding bag. Leave room for it to swell, not too much or it will fall out of shape. Boil one and one-half hours. Serve with rich sauce. If wished, 1 cupful of raisins may be added to the pudding.

1 pint fine bread-crumbs. 4 egg yolks well-beaten, Grated yellow rind of 1 lemon. Butter the size of an egg. 1 quart of milk.

¼ pound powdered sugar. 1 white.

Beat the 3 whites of egg with 4 tablespoonfuls powdered sugar and the juice of the lemon. Spread a layer of currant jelly over the pudding after it is baked. Pour the beaten whites over this. Place again in the oven and brown delicately. Serve cold with cream.
