TAKE a pint of fine oatmeal, boil it in three pints of new milk, stirring it till it is as thick as a hasty-pudding; take it off, and stir in half a pound of fresh butter, a little beaten mace and nutmeg, and a gill of sack; then beat up eight eggs, half the whites, stir all well together, lay a puff-paste all over the dish, pour in the pudding, and bake it half an hour. Or you may boil it with a few currants.
