PRINCE ALBERT PUDDING

Rub to a cream half a pound of sweet butter and half a pound of sifted powdered sugar; add the yolks of six eggs, one at a time, and the grated peel of one lemon.  Stone half a pound of raisins, and add also a little citron, cut very fine.  Now add gradually half a pound of the finest flour, sifted three or four times, and the stiffly-beaten whites of the eggs.  Pour this mixture into a well-buttered mold, into which you have strewn some blanched and pounded almonds.  Boil fully three hours.  Serve with sweet brandy or fruit sauce.

PEACH PUDDING

In a large mixing bowl whip to a cream two eggs, three tablespoons of sugar, and two tablespoons of butter.  To this, after it is well beaten, add a saltspoon of salt and half a grated nutmeg.  Stir these ingredients well into the mixture; then stir in a cup of milk.  Last add, a little at a time—­stirring it well in to make a smooth batter—­a cup and a half of flour and three-quarters of a cup of Indian meal, which have been sifted together with three teaspoons of baking-powder in another bowl.

Butter well the inside of a two-quart pudding mold; put a layer of the pudding batter an inch deep in the mold; cover this with a layer of fine ripe peaches that have been peeled and cut in quarters or eighths—­this depends upon the size of the peaches.  Sprinkle the layer of peaches with a light layer of sugar; then pour in a layer of batter; then a layer of peaches.  Repeat this process till all the material is in, leaving a layer of batter on top.  Steam for two hours.

NOODLE PUDDING

Make noodles with two eggs.  Boil in boiling salt water for ten minutes, drains and set aside.

Beat the yolks of four eggs with one cup of powdered sugar until light, add a quarter of a cup of pounded almonds, a pinch of salt, the drained noodles, and the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth.  Mix well, pour into a greased pudding mold, and boil one and one-half hours.

PRUNE PUDDING

Take the yolks of four eggs, a cup of granulated sugar, and stir to a cream.  Chop fine thirty prunes (prunes being boiled without sugar), and add two tablespoons of sweet chocolate, two tablespoons of grated almonds, and the whites, which have been beaten to a snow.  Boil two and one-half hours in a pudding form and serve with whipped cream.

PLUM PUDDING (FOR THANKSGIVING DAY)

Soak a small loaf of bread; press out every drop of water, work into this one cup of suet shaved very fine, the yolks of six eggs, one cup of currants, one cup of raisins seeded, one-half cup of citron shredded fine, three-quarters cup of syrup, one wineglass of brandy, one cup of sifted flour and the stiffly-beaten whites of eggs last.  Boil four hours in greased melon mold.
