hour to an hour. When nearly done,
season with salt, pepper and butter, for
young chickens are never fat. When
done, put in a pudding dish, and have
ready quart of green corn either cut or
grated from the cob, add three eggs we'll
beaten and pint of sweet milk. Pour
over the chicken, and put bits of butter
over the top, dredge with flour, and
bake till the eggs are set. 1t is never
well to allow any custard to boil, as the
egg and milk will curdle. When a Gus
tard begins to boil the least bit on the
edges, remove from the oven.
