To make a fine plain baked Pudding.
You must take a quart of milk, and put three bay-leaves into
it. When it has boiled a little, stir in fine flour, make it into a
batter-pudding, with a little salt, pretty thick; take it off the fire
and stir in half a pound of butter, a quarter of a pound of sugar,
beat up twelve eggs and half the whites, stir all well together,
lay a puff-paste all over the dish and pour in your stuff. Half an
hour will bake it.
