Cottage Pudding
1¾ cups flour
2½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup butter, or other fat
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
½ tsp. lemon extract
⅔ cup milk
Mix flour, baking powder and salt and sift twice. Cream butter until soft; add sugar gradually, beating until light. Beat in the egg and flavoring. Add flour mixing alternately with the milk, beating smooth after each addition. Turn into a buttered square tin (8 × 8 × 2 inches). Bake in moderate oven (350-f) for about 40 minutes. Serve with butterscotch or orange sauce. It’s delicious covered with crushed berries or other fruits.
