TAPIOCA PUDDING.

One quart of milk; two-thirds cup of tapioca; two or three eggs a dessertspoonful of butter; two-thirds cup of sugar; one teaspoonful of salt; flavor with lemon, nutmeg, or extract of rose; do not wash the tapioca as the fine powder is the nicest part; but pick it over carefully and soak over night in half of the milk; if you have not done this, and need the pudding for dinner, it will soak in cold water, (twice as much water as tapioca), in two or three hours; boil it in the milk set into a kettle of hot water; stir often; beat the eggs and sugar thoroughly together; stir them and all the other ingredients into the milk while hot; if the pudding is put at once in the oven it will bake in three-fourths of an hour or a little less. — Mrs. A. K Childs.
