Child, Lydia Maria Francis, 1802-1880

"The American Frugal Housewife"

When it
is so thick that you stir it with great difficulty, it is about right.
It takes about half an hour's cooking. Eat it with milk or molasses.
Either Indian meal or rye meal may be used. If the system is in a
restricted state, nothing can be better than _rye_ hasty pudding and
_West India_ molasses. This diet would save many a one the horrors of
dyspepsia.

CHEAP CUSTARDS.

One quart of milk, boiled; when boiling, add three table spoonfuls
of ground rice, or rice that is boiled, mixed smooth and fine in cold
milk, and one egg beaten; give it one boil up, and sweeten to your
taste; peach leaves, or any spice you please, boiled in the milk.

COMMON PIES.

MINCE PIES.
Boil a tender, nice piece of beef--any piece that is clear from
sinews and gristle; boil it till it is perfectly tender When it is
cold, chop it very fine, and be very careful to get out every particle
of bone and gristle. The suet is sweeter and better to boil half an
hour or more in the liquor the beef has been boiled in; but few people
do this.
