Beat the eggs, add the cream, bread crumbs, flour, and butter. Beat well together, and mix in the sugar and fruit. Mix well, pour into a buttered pan, cover, and steam about two hours.
Butter a pudding mold that will hold at least two quarts. Have the citron and raisins chopped fine, the currants well washed, and the cake cut into strips about an inch and a half wide and half an inch thick; sprinkle some of the fruit on the bottom ofthe mold, then slices of the cake; sprinkle on a little cinnamon and nutmeg, then more fruit, then cake, and so on till the ingredients are all used. Pour over this a custard made of the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour this over the cake without cooking, and let soak one-half hour, then set into a pan of water, cover, and bake until the custard is set. Serve with a tart sauce.
Wash the sago, and with the milk put into a double boiler, and cook until clear. Beat the eggs very light, and add the sugar and flavor. Remove the sago from the range, and allow to cool a little, then pour in the eggs and sugar, beating all the time. Put in a pudding-pan, set in a pan of water, cover, and bake until the custard is set.
Mix all well together except the whites of the eggs, which should be beaten stiff and added last. Turn into a buttered mold, and steam or boil for three hours. Serve with sweetened cream, flavored with nutmeg.
Put milk into a double boiler. Mix the sugar and flour with a little cold milk; pour this into the scalding milk, and stir till it thickens; then stir it into the well-beaten yolks of the eggs; then add the whites beaten stiff. Pour the mixture into buttered cups or into a pudding dish. Put the cup or dish into a pan of boiling water, place in the oven, and bake twenty minutes. About five minutes before it is done, remove from the pan of water, and finish baking on the grate. Serve in the cups in which it is baked or on hot plates if baked in a pudding dish. This should not be allowed to stand, but be served immediately.
Mix the butter with the corn starch and flour; mix the fig marmalade and the cream; stir in the butter, corn starch, and flour mixture, together with the sugar and the yolks of eggs. Mix well and fold in quickly the well-beaten whites. Pour into a buttered pudding-pan and steam one and one-half hours.
Make same as fig pudding, using date marmalade.
Over the beaten yolks pour a syrup made by boiling the sugar in the water. Add lemon rind and juice, lemon extract, and salt. Beat up well, and mix in slowly the flour and corn starch. Fold in the beaten whites of the eggs, pour into a greased pudding dish, and steam one and one-half hours.
Heat milk to boiling and stir in cream of maize or cerealine. Set in double boiler and cook half an hour. Remove from range and stir in the yolks and sugar. Flavor with grated rind and juice of lemon. Pour in a shallow pan, and set within another containing water, and bake till the custard sets. Meringue with the whites.

Chop the butter in the flour, add the water and salt, and without mixing turn upon the board. Roll out and double over three times. Then roll out again and double. Continue this till the crust is smooth; then roll out very thin and roll as for jelly cake. Cut into two pieces, stand each piece on end, and roll out one for the top and the other for the bottom crust.
Wash the pumpkin, but do not peel; remove the seeds, cut up, cook and put through a colander. The pumpkin is much sweeter cooked this way than when the peel is removed before cooking.
Mix all together thoroughly, adding the milk last.
Mix together, and when smooth, add
Save the whites of three of the eggs for meringue; beat together the remainder of the eggs, sugar, and vanilla; dissolve the chocolate in the water and boil for three minutes. When nearly cold, add to the eggs and sugar. Put in pan lined with good pastry and bake; makes two large or three small pies.
Make an ordinary custard pie, flavor with vanilla; put the grated chocolate into a basin on the side of the range, where it will melt, but not burn. When melted, beat into it one egg and sugar to suit the taste. Spread on top of the pie.
Stew all together until thick enough for filling.
Flavor with
Beat the yolks of the eggs to a cream, stir the flour thoroughly into the sugar, and add to the eggs. Then put in the vanilla, nutmeg, and salt; then add well-beaten whites. Mix well and add by degrees the milk that has been scalded and cooled (but not boiled), and turn all into a deep pie-pan, lined with rich paste. Bake from twenty-five to thirty minutes.
Put the water and butter into a double boiler and set on the range. Mix the sugar, flour, and corn starch together; grate in the lemon rind, add the juice and beaten yolks of the eggs. When the water in the boiler is scalding hot, stir in the mixture, and cooktill of the consistency of cold honey, stirring now and then to ensure even cooking. Remove from the fire; when cool, pour into deep pie tins, lined with good pastry. When done, meringue with the whites of the eggs.
Soak the cocoanut in the milk, add the beaten egg, sugar, and butter melted. Line a pie-pan with rich pastry, put in the filling, and bake. The white of one of the eggs may be used as a meringue, if desired.
Beat the yolks of the eggs till very thick; add the sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Beat the whites of the eggs very stiff, fold half the whites into theyolk and sugar, then half the flour, then the remainder of the whites and the rest of the flour. Divide this batter into two pie-pans and bake. When cold, split each cake and put in the filling.
Put three-fourths of the milk into a double boiler, together with the milk, and set on the range. Beat the eggs very light; add the sugar, flour, and the remainder of the milk. Beat till perfectly smooth, and when the milk in the boiler is scalding hot, stir in the mixture. Beat till smooth, and cook thoroughly; when cool, add the vanilla. If made a day or two before serving, and kept on ice, the quality of these pies is greatly improved.
To the marmalade add the grated rind and juice of the lemon, sugar, and beaten yolk of egg; put into a pie-pan lined with good paste and bake tillthe crust is done; remove from oven and meringue with the white of the egg.
Line a pie-pan with rich paste, sprinkle over the bottom a little flour and sugar. Fill with apples cut in thin slices. The pan should be slightly rounding full. Sprinkle a little flour and sugar, according to the tartness of the fruit. Add two tablespoonfuls of water, and a few small pieces of butter. Moisten the edge of the paste and put on the upper crust, press down the edges, trim, make several perforations in the top to allow the steam to escape, brush the crust with a little milk, and bake about forty-five minutes.
Line a pie plate with paste rolled a little thicker than a dollar. Strip the skin off the rhubarb and cut the stalk into half-inch lengths. Fill the plate an inch deep, and to a quart of rhubarb add a large cup of sugar. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, and a grating of nutmeg on top, with a little flour. Coverwith a rich crust and bake in a quick oven until the pie loosens from the dish.
Line a pie-pan with pie paste. Put in the berries half an inch deep, and to one quart of berries put a teacup of brown sugar; sift a teaspoonful of flour over, a pinch of salt, and a little grated nutmeg. Cover with the top crust, pressing down the edges tightly. Trim and bake in a good oven forty-five minutes. This pie is the typical berry pie.

Mix and beat together.
Mix and bake as for Favorite Sponge Cake, flavor with
If boiled icing flavored with orange is used, the result will be orange cake.
Stir the sugar into the whites very lightly and carefully, adding the vanilla, after which add the flour, stirring quickly and lightly. Pour into abright, clean cake dish, which should not be buttered or lined. Bake at once in a moderate oven about forty minutes. Test it with a broom splint. When done, let it remain in the cake tin, turning it upside down, with the sides resting on two saucers, so that a current of air will pass over and under it.
Use and make the ingredients the same as for Simple Sponge Cake, but bake in a sheet. Before baking, sprinkle a generous quantity of the following mixture ontop:—
Mix an equal quantity of granulated sugar and chopped almonds and add a small pinch of ground cinnamon. This produces a delicious crust. Bake in a buttered and floured pan, and remove from the pan as soon as done.
To the eggs add sugar, and beat with a wire egg beater till the mixture is thick and light colored. Then add the flour, folding it in gently. Drop by the spoonful in an unbuttered pan, and bake in a moderate oven. When done, invert the pan, letting it rest on cups till the cake is cool, when it can easily be taken out. Thus suspended from the bottom of the pan, the cake is stretched by its own weight, which makes it lighter and more elastic thanif left to fall by its weight in cooling. The quantity given will make a small loaf cake, or two layers.
Sift the flour and sugar four or five times. Beat the whites of the egg to a stiff froth, adding the lemon juice. When half beaten, fold in carefully in regular order the sugar, well-beaten yolks of eggs, and the flour. Bake in a moderate oven.
Beat the yolks of the eggs till thick; boil sugar in water till it spins a thread. Pour this into the yolks, beating all the time till cool. Add the vanilla and lemon extract; mix flour with walnuts; mix all together, and lastly stir in the stiffly-beaten whites. Bake in tins lined with greased paper.
Stir together and spread on crackers, one inch wide by three or four inches long. Bake a light brown.
Beat the yolks till very thick, add sugar gradually, then the grated rind and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Fold in one-half of the whites of the eggs, beaten very stiff, then one-half of the flour, the other half of the whites, lastly the remainder of the flour. Bake in a large dripping-pan fifteen minutes. Turn onto a cloth, trim the edges, spread the jelly, and roll up. Wrap in the cloth and set aside to cool.
Beat eggs stiff, add sugar, and beat very stiff; add lemon rind grated; mix and add flour and almond meal. Drop on oiled pans in pieces the size of a walnut, allowing plenty of room between each. Smooth with a knife dipped in water. Bake a light brown.

Nut butter can be easily made in the home, but nearly all the prepared nut foods on sale require expensive machinery and a steam plant to produce, hence can not be made in the home.
Peanuts and almonds are the nuts most suitable for making nut butter. The other varieties are difficult to blanch and do not make good butter. The best variety of peanuts for making nut butter is the Spanish shelled. They are the most easily blanched. Removing the skins from the nuts after they are shelled is called blanching. Peanuts can not be blanched unless they have been thoroughly heated.
To properly cook peanuts is the essential thing to produce a healthful, palatable nut butter. This can be accomplished if care is exercised. There are three ways of cooking them: namely, baking or roasting, boiling, and steaming. The baking process is the easiest way, but care should be used not to scorch them. Scorched or burnt peanuts are unfit to use in any form.
Put a layer of peanuts about one-half inch deep in a dripping-pan and place on perforated shelf in a moderate oven. Allow them to bake slowly for about one hour. Cook them until they are a light brown or straw color. Shake the pan or stir the peanuts every few minutes. When the kernels beginto crack and pop they brown very quickly and should be watched closely.
A splendid way to cook them is to fill a tight-covered dish about two-thirds full, place in the oven, and shake occasionally. When cooked this way, they are not so liable to burn, and they retain their flavor better. When they have cooked sufficiently, spread out at once. When they have become quite cool, blanch as follows: This can be done by rubbing them in the hands, or what is better, a coarse bag, or take a piece of cloth and fold the ends together, forming a bag. Another good device is a screen made of coarse wire. Rub them until the skins are loose. The chaff can be removed by using a fan or by pouring them from one dish to another where the wind is blowing. Look them over carefully, removing defective nuts and foreign substances.
The next step is to grind them. The most practical family mill we know of for grinding nuts, etc., is the Quaker City Mill (see cut and description of same in this book).
Always grind freshly cooked nuts, as they do not make good butter when left a day or two after being cooked.
Thoroughly heat the nuts in an oven, but do not let them brown. Allow them to cool, then blanch as described in process No. 1. Boil them from three to four hours, until they are tender. Drain, spreadout on tins, and thoroughly dry them; then grind them through the mill.
Heat and blanch the same as for No. 2. Grind them through a meat chopper or the nut butter mill loosely adjusted. Then cook them in a steam cooker about four hours. When tender, drain, spread on tins, and thoroughly dry them. Then run them through the mill tightly adjusted.
Prepare nuts as described in process No. 1. Sprinkle salt on the kernels when grinding. It is much more preferable to grind the salt in with the nuts than to mix it in the butter.
Almond butter is more difficult to make than peanut butter, on account of the difficulty in removing the skins. Dry heat does not loosen the skins as it does the peanut. To blanch almonds, soak them in boiling water from two to five minutes; then the skins become loose and can be pinched off by pressing on the nut with the thumb and finger; the skins will crack and the kernel pop out. Dry them in a slow oven until they become thoroughly dry and crisp, taking care not to burn them. Then grind them through a loosely adjusted mill. Place ontins or on a cloth stretched over the stove until perfectly dry. Then grind then in the nut butter mill tightly adjusted.
This makes excellent butter if the almonds are first-class and sweet.
Remove the brown, woody skins with a sharp knife and put the nuts through the mill. They may have to be broken up before they can be ground. This butter is very good, but somewhat expensive. It is cheaper to buy the nuts already shelled.
Heat the peanuts sufficiently to remove the skins, but do not brown them. Blanch and look over. Boil or steam them until tender, taking care to have them quite dry when done. Drain off all the water possible and put them through a colander. Put on tins suspended over the stove, or in a slow oven, with the door open, taking care not to brown them. When perfectly dry and hard, grind through the mill loosely adjusted. If it is not fine enough, spread out to dry some more, pass through the mill again more tightly adjusted, but if the mill is too tight, it will grind it into butter. A good plan is to rub it through a flour sieve.
Put one-half the amount of butter required for the meal into a bowl and dilute with an equal quantity of water, adding a little of the water at a time, beating it thoroughly with a fork until it is smooth and light. Enough water should be used to make it the proper consistency to spread nicely. An egg beater or wire potato masher is an excellent utensil for mixing. A little salt can be added if desired. Nut butter when mixed with water does not keep but a few hours.
Cook the peanuts until they just begin to turn brown. Then make into butter, ground as fine as possible. Emulsify with water until it is the consistency of milk. Then put in double boiler and cook until it has become as thick as ordinary cream. A little salt can be added if desired. Serve it hot or cold as preferred. It can be made into milk by adding a little water.
