To make a cheap plain Rice Pudding.
Get a quarter of a pound of rice, tie it in a cloth, but give room for swelling. Boil it an hour, then take it up, untie it, and with a spoon stir in a quarter of a pound of butter, grate some nutmeg, and sweeten to your taste, then tie it up close and boil it another hour, then take it up, turn it into your dish and pour melted butter over it.
