Boiled Custard Pudding Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Boiled Custard Pudding Recipe, first make 1 pint of custard with 1/2 pint of milk, and 3 eggs. Flavor and sweeten it liberally, or the pudding will be insipid. Put it into a buttered basin which it will quite fill, cover it with a piece of buttered paper, and tie it in a floured cloth, then steam it gently until done. Keep moving it about in the saucepan for the first few minutes, that it may be well mixed. It must not cease boiling after it is once put in. Serve with wine sauce or a little jam. A large pudding may be made with very little more expense by adding another egg, another half-pint of milk, and a tablespoonful of flour. Time, forty minutes to steam. Sufficient for four persons.
