To make a common Rice Pudding.
WASH half a pound of rice, put to it three pints of good milk, mix it well with a quarter of a pound of butter, a stick or two of cinnamon beaten fine, half a nutmeg grated, one egg well beat, a little salt and sugar to your taste.—One hour and a half will bake it in a quick oven; when it comes out take off the top, and put the pudding in breakfast cups, turn them into a hot dish, like little puddings, and serve it up.
