A very fine Amber Pudding.
Put a pound of butter into a saucepan, with three quarters of a pound of loaf sugar, finely powdered; melt the butter and mix well with it: then add the yelks of fifteen eggs well beaten, and as much fresh candied orange, as will add colour and flavour to it, being first beaten to a fine paste. Line the dish with paste for turning out; and when filled with the above, lay a crust over, as you would a pie, and bake it in a slow oven.
It is as good cold as hot.
