Quaking Pudding.
Boil a quart of milk with a bit of cinnamon and mace; mix about a spoonful of butter with a large spoonful of flour, to which put the milk by degrees. Add ten eggs, but only half the whites, and a nutmeg grated. Butter your basin and the cloth you tie over it, which must be tied so tight and close as not to admit a drop of water. Boil it an hour. Sack and butter for sauce.
