Boiled Custard Pudding

Ingredients

• 1 pint milk
• 1 tablespoonful flour
• 4 eggs
• flavouring to taste

Instructions

1. Flavour the milk by infusing in it a little lemon-rind or cinnamon;
2. whisk the eggs, stir the flour gradually to these, and pour over them the milk, and stir the mixture well.
3. Butter a basin that will exactly hold it;
4. put in the custard, and tie a floured cloth over; plunge it into boiling water, and turn it about for a few minutes, to prevent the flour from settling in one part.
5. Boil it slowly for 1/2 hour;
6. turn it out of the basin, and serve.
7. The pudding may be garnished with red-currant jelly, and sweet sauce may be sent to table with it.
