One quart of milk, three or lour eggs, one cup of sugar, a little butter, three teaspoonfuls of corn starch. Cook in a farina pail. After the custard is cold cut up three tart oranges and stir in, beat the whites of two eggs (saved from the above) and stir in custard. Do not put the oranges in till an hour before using, as it makes it too thin. A little cream stirred in is good.

An excellent pudding is made of tart apples stewed, and then put in layers with fine cracker or bread crumbs. While the apples are still hot, stir sugar and a little butter in with them. This should be baked for half an hour. A little sweet cream is a great addition, but it is good without any sauce.

Avoid cooking long enough to curdle. Serve with sweetened cream.
