FRUIT AND CUSTARD PUDDING.

2 cupfuls of stewed and stoned plums (or the same quantity of any other fruit), 1 pint of milk, 3 eggs, 1 large cupful of fine breadcrumbs, sugar to taste, 1 teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, and 1 oz. of butter.  Mix the crumbs and fruit in a bowl, oil the butter and mix it with the other ingredients, adding the sugar and cinnamon; beat up the eggs with the milk, and mix it with the rest of the pudding; have ready a greased pie-dish, pour in the mixture, and bake the pudding until nicely brown.

GIANT SAGO PUDDING.

2 oz. of giant sago, 2 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 2 oz. of currants, 2 oz. of sultanas, 1 tablespoonful of sugar, 1 quart of milk.  Soak the sago in cold water, drain, and cook in a double saucepan, if possible, with 1-1/2 pints of the milk for 2 hours; mix the meal smooth with the rest of the milk, add this, the fruit and sugar, and cook it gently for another 15 minutes:  then pour the pudding into a pie-dish, and bake it in the oven until set or slightly brown on the top.

GOLDEN SYRUP PUDDING (1).

1/2 lb. of golden syrup, 1 teacupful of sago, 1 lb. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1/2 pint of milk, 3 eggs, 2 oz. of citron peel.  Soak the sago with the boiling milk until quite soft, adding a little water, if necessary; mix it with the meal and golden syrup into a fairly thick batter; beat up the eggs and mix them well with the other ingredients.  Butter a mould, cut and arrange the citron in the bottom of it into a star, pour in the batter, tie a cloth over it, and steam the pudding for 3 hours.

GOLDEN SYRUP PUDDING (2).

This pudding is very much liked and easily made. 10 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 3 eggs, 1 pint of milk, 1/2 lb. of golden syrup.  Make a batter with the meal, eggs, and milk; grease a pudding basin, pour into it first the golden syrup, then the batter without mixing them; put over the batter a piece of buttered paper, tie up with a cloth, and steam the pudding in boiling water for 2-1/2 hours, taking care that no water boils into it.  If liked, the juice of 1/2 lemon may be added to the syrup and grated rind put in the batter.  Before turning the pudding out, dip the pudding basin in cold water for 1 minute.

GOOSEBERRY SOUFFLE.

3 pints of gooseberries, castor sugar to taste, 1/2 pint of milk, 4 eggs.  Stew the gooseberries with 1/2 a teacupful of water until quite soft, adding sugar to taste; rub the fruit through a coarse sieve and place it into a pie-dish; beat the yolks of the eggs well, mix them with the milk previously heated, and pour them over the gooseberries, mixing all well.  Bake the mixture in a moderate oven until set; meanwhile beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, adding a little castor sugar, lay this over the souffle, a few minutes before it is quite done, let it set in the oven, and serve quickly.
