A number of recipes copied from 'First Catch your Hare, The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy', by Hannah Glasse,1747. For example:
'To boile a Custard Pudding
Take a pint of Cream, out of which take two
or three Spoonfulls, and mix with a Spoonful
of fine flour, Set the rest to Boil, When it is
boiled, take it of, and Stir in the Cold
Cream, & flour very well, when it is Cold
beat up five yolks & two whites of eggs Stir
in a Little Salt and some nutmeg & two or
three Spoonfuls of Sack Sweeten to your
palate, butter a wooden bowl, & pour it
in, tie a Cloth over it & boile it half
an hour, when it is enough, untie the
Cloth, turn the pudding out into your
Dish & pour melted butter over it.'
