Batter Pudding Recipe

A frugal man, upon the whole,

Yet loved his friend, and had a soul;

Knew what was handsome, and would do't

On just occasion, coute qui coute.

He brought him bacon (nothing lean);

_Pudding_, that might have pleased a dean;

Cheese, such as men of Suffolk make,

But wished it Stilton for his sake.

POPE.

Take six ounces of flour, a little salt, and three eggs; beat it well

with a little milk, added by degrees, till the batter becomes smooth;

make it the thickness of cream; put it into a buttered and floured bag;

tie it tightly; boil one and a half hour, or two hours. Serve with wine

sauce.
