Oatmeal Pudding.
Pour a quart of boiling milk over a pint of the best fine oatmeal; let it soak all night. Next day beat two eggs, and mix a little salt: butter a bason that will just hold it: cover it tight with a floured cloth, and boil it an hour and a half. Eat it with cold butter and salt.
When cold, slice and toast it, and eat it as oatcake buttered.
