Plain Macaroni Pudding. Maltese Cross
¼ pound macaroni, broken into pieces an inch long.
1 pint water.
1 table-spoonful butter.
1 large cup of milk.
2 table-spoonfuls powdered sugar.
Grated peel of half a lemon.
A little cinnamon and salt.
Boil the macaroni slowly in the water, in one vessel set within another of hot water, until it is tender and has soaked up the water. Add the butter and salt. Let it stand covered five minutes without removing it from the range; put in the rest of the ingredients. Stir frequently, taking care not to break the macaroni, and simmer, covered ten minutes longer before turning it out into a deep dish.
Eat hot with butter and sugar, or sugar and cream.
