The taucepun which it U in can be set in boiling water aa soon as the tlour is added, but up to this time it ia bettor not to use a double boiler, as rapid cooking and the direct heat of the stove are required Let the pudding cook five minutes more after this stirring it often. At the end of this time add three well-beaten eggs and let it cook three minutes more, stirring it well all the time, and it is done. .Serve it as HOOII .w possible.
