Sweet Potato Pudding

Ingredients

• 4 whole eggs
• 4 cups sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pint sweet potato

Instructions

1. Beat four eggs very light with four cups sugar and one cup creamed butter.
2. Add a cupful of very rich milk and mix smooth.
3. Then add one pint of raw grated sweet potato. Mix well.
4. Pour into a deep earthen dish and set in a hot oven.
5. As soon as a brown crust forms on top, stir it down. Repeat this three times at least.
6. Serve hot, with either wine sauce or a rich sugar and butter sauce, flavored with lemon.
7. It is best not to flavor the pudding proper, so one may get undiminished the zest of the brown crust stirred through it.
