"The Virginia Housewife"

AN EXCELLENT AND CHEAP DESSERT DISH.
Wash a pint of small homony very clean, and boil it tender; add an equal
quantity of corn meal, make it into a batter with eggs, milk, and a
piece of butter; bake it like batter cakes on a griddle, and eat it with
butter and molasses.

SLICED APPLE PUDDING.
Beat six eggs very light, add a pint of rich milk, pare some apples or
peaches--slice them thin, make the eggs and milk into a tolerably thick
batter with flour, add a small cup of melted butter, put in the fruit,
and bake it in a deep dish--eat with sugar, butter, and nutmeg.

BAKED INDIAN MEAL PUDDING.
Boil one quart of milk, mix in it two gills and a half of corn meal very
smoothly, seven eggs well beaten, a gill of molasses, and a good piece
of butter, bake it two hours.

BOILED INDIAN MEAL PUDDING.
Mix one quart of corn meal, with three quarts of milk; take care it be
not lumpy--add three eggs and a gill of molasses; it must be put on at
sun rise, to eat at three o'clock; the great art in this pudding is
tying the bag properly, as the meal swells very much.
