Douro Pudding. for Luncheon. (Birk Hall.)
Cover the bottom of a pie-dish with strawberry or apricot
jam and rim the well-buttered top edge with sugar paste (see
Paste and Pastry). Cover the jam also with the thinnest possible
sheet of paste, rolled as thin as a sheet of letter paper, to
prevent the custard and jam mixing.
Make a custard with ½ pt. milk, and flavour it with 1 teaspoonful
of noyou or 5 or 6 drops of essence of kernels, and pour it hot
into the dish. Bake in a very slow oven at least 1½ hours.
