Ingredients.—Raspberry jam, ½ a lb. of breadcrumbs, ¼ of a lb. of castor sugar, ¼ of a lb. of butter, 3 eggs, brown breadcrumbs.

Method.—Cream the butter and sugar together until thick and smooth, beat in the eggs separately, and add the breadcrumbs. Have ready a well-buttered plain mould, coat it completely with brown breadcrumbs, place a layer of the preparation on the bottom, and cover it thickly with jam, taking care that it does not touch the sides of the mould. Repeat until the mould is full, letting the mixture form the top layer. Bake in a moderate oven from 1 to 1¼ hours, and serve with custard or other suitable sauce.

Time.—From 1½ to 1¾ hours. Average Cost, 1s. 2d. Sufficient for 5 or 6 persons.

Ingredients.—1 pint of milk, 3 tablespoons of rice, 1½ tablespoons of sugar, salt, nutmeg.

Method.—Pick and wash the rice, place it in a greased piedish, add the sugar, milk, and a small pinch of salt. Sprinkle the surface lightly with nutmeg, and bake in a slow oven for about 2 hours.
