«Pare off some of the crust of the manchet - bread, and grate off half as much of the rest as there is of the root, which must also be grated: then take half a pint of fresh cream or new milk, half a pound of fresh butter, six new laid eggs (taking out three of the whites) mash and mingle them well with the cream and butter: then put in the grated bread and carrot with near half a pound of sugar, and a little salt, some grated nutmeg and beaten spice; and pour all into a convenient dish or pan, butter'd, to
keep the
ingredients from sticking and
burning; set it in a quick oven for about an hour, and so have you a composition for any root - pudding.»
