To make a Boiler Rice Pudding.
HAVING got a quarter of a pound of the flower of rice, put it over the fire in a pint of milk, and keep it stirring constantly that it may not clod nor burn. When it is of a good thickness, take it off, and pour it into an earthen pan; stir in half a pound of butter very smooth and half a pint of cream or new milk, sweeten to your palate, grate in half a nutmeg and the outward rind of a lemon. Beat up the yolks of fix eggs and two whites, beat all well together; boil it either in a small china bason, or wooden bowls. When boiled, turn them in a dish, pour melted butter over them, with a little sack, and throw sugar all over.
