A Curd Pudding

Ingredients

• 2 quarts milk
• 0.5 pint white wine
• 6 ounces butter
• 0.5 pound loaf sugar
• 0.5 pint rice flour or beaten crackers
• 6 eggs
• 0.5 nutmeg, grated
• citron
• butter, melted
• sugar
• wine

Instructions

1. Heat two quarts of milk until it boils. Pour in half a pint of white wine to curdle the milk, then strain the curds from the whey.
2. Pound the curds in a mortar together with six ounces of butter, half a pound of loaf sugar, and half a pint of rice flour (or an equivalent amount of crackers beaten as fine as flour). Beat in six eggs that have been made light, and half a grated nutmeg. Beat all the mixture well together.
3. Bake the pudding in saucers in a moderate oven. Turn them out carefully onto your serving dish. Stick thin slices of citron into the puddings, and pour over them rich melted butter mixed with sugar and wine.
