To make a fine Plain Pudding.
Get a quart of milk, put into it fix laurel-leaves, boil it, then take out your leaves, and stir in as much flour as will make a hasty pudding pretty thick, take it off, and then stir in half a pound of butter, then a quarter of a pound of sugar, a small nutmeg grated, and twelve yolks and fix whites of eggs well beaten. Mix all well together, butter a dish and put in your fluff. A little more than half an hour will bake it.
