BEAT eight eggs very well, and put them in a pan, with half a pound of butter, and the same weight of loaf sugar beat fine, a little grated nutmeg, set it on the fire, and keep stirring it till it thickens like buttered eggs, then put it in a bason to cool, roll a rich puff paste very thin, lay it round the edge of a China dish, then pour in the pudding, and bake it in a moderate oven half an hour, it will cut light and clear.—It is a pretty pudding for a corner for dinner and a middle for supper.
