Brown Bread Pudding. No. 2.
½ lb. of fine brown bread-crumbs, dried the day before, 8 eggs, ¼ lb. of sweet almonds, 2 or 3 bitter ones, ¼ lb. castor sugar, a little pounded cinnamon, and some finely-grated lemon peel.
Pouud the almonds fine, and add to the bread-crumbs, also a glass of sherry if liked; next add the lemon and spice and the yolks of the eggs.
Stir all these well together for a quarter of an hour, then mix in the whites of the eggs, previously beaten alone to a stiff froth.
The mould must be well buttered, and if the pudding is boiled, the water in which it is boiled must not touch the pudding itself. It takes half an hour to cook.
