ARROWROOT PUDDING.
Mix two tablespoonsful of Bermuda arrowroot with one cup of milk; flavor one pint and a half of milk, with any desired flavoring; put it on the fire, and when it boils, pour upon the arrowroot; stir well, and when cool, add three well beaten eggs; one tablespoonful each, of sugar and brandy; put into a well buttered mould; cover, and steam one hour and a half; then turn out upon a dish. — Dr. E. L. Draper.
A DELICATE DESSERT.
Lay one dozen crackers in a dish; pour on enough boiling water to cover them; in a few minutes they will be swollen to four or five times their original size; now grate loaf sugar and a little nutmeg over them, and drop on enough cream to make a nice sauce, and you will have a simple and delicious dessert that will rest lightly on the stomach; leave out the cream and it is valuable for sick room cookery. — Mrs. Clifford.
