Boiled Pudding
  1. Put 1-1/2 pint of the milk into a stewpan, with any of the flavourings, and bring it to the boiling-point.
  2. Mix the ground rice with the other 1/2 pint of milk to a smooth batter.
  3. Strain the boiling milk to this, and stir over the fire until the mixture is tolerably thick.
  4. Pour it into a basin, leave it uncovered.
  5. When nearly or quite cold, sweeten it to taste, and add the eggs, which should be previously well beaten, with a little salt.
  6. Put the pudding into a well-buttered basin, tie it down with a cloth.
  7. Plunge it into boiling water, and boil for 1-1/2 hour.
Baked Pudding
  1. Proceed in precisely the same manner as for the boiled pudding, only using half the above proportion of ground rice, with the same quantity of all the other ingredients.
  2. An hour will bake the pudding in a moderate oven.
Serving Suggestion
  1. Stewed fruit, or preserves, or marmalade, may be served with either the boiled or baked pudding, and will be found an improvement.
