To make Apple Puddings.
MAKE a good puff-paste, roll it half an inch thick, pare your apples, and core them, enough to fill the crust, and close it up, tie it in a cloth and boil it. If a small pudding, two hours; if a large one, three or four hours. When it is enough, take it into your dish, cut a piece of the crust out of the top, butter and sugar it to your palate; lay on the crust again, and send it to table hot. A pear pudding make the same way. And thus you may make a damson-pudding, or any sort of plumbs, apricots, cherries or mulberries, and are very fine.
