*Bread Pudding
1¹⁄₂ cups powdered sugar 2 cups bread-crumbs 1 quart milk 5 eggs 1 table-spoon butter Vanilla
Put the bread-crumbs, which should be very fine, to soak in the milk. Mix the butter and one cup of sugar. Add the well-beaten yolks, and beat well together. Add bread-crumbs and milk and a little vanilla. Butter a pudding-dish and fill it not more than two-thirds full. Bake in a moderate oven until set. Spread quickly with jelly or jam and cover with the whites beaten to a froth and mixed with half a cup of sugar. Put back in the oven to brown quickly. Serve cold with cream.
This pudding can be made with crushed and sweetened fresh strawberries instead of jam.
