Transparent Pudding.
BEAT up eight eggs well in a pan, and put to them
half a pound of butter, and the same quantity of loaf sugar
beat fine, with a little grated nutmeg. Set it on the fire,
and keep stirring it till it is the thickness of buttered eggs.
Then put it into a bason to cool, roll a rich puff paste very
thin, lay it round the edge of your dish, and pour in the
ingredients. Put it into a moderately heated oven, and
about half an hour will do it.
