PUDpiNGs CAN BE BOILED IN
PAPER BAGS.

1t is not beyond paper bags to boil
things, especially puddings. They
must be put in thin molds with tight
fitting tops, tho molds filled only two
thirds-even a little less for some
sorts. After the tops are on tight
the molds must be set in a lightly
creased bag. which has been gently
flattened at the bottom SO as not to-
break 1t, and reinforced along the
seam with thick paste, which has
been allowed to dry before using.
After the pudding is in the bag. the
mold standing upright, pour in
enough cold water to come three
parts up the sides. fold and clip the
bag, set it on q trivet with feet an
inch high, and put the trivet upon the
bottom of the oven. Have the oven
hot, keep 1t so for ten minutes, then
slack heat half and cook as long AZ
necessary.
Here follow sundry receipts for
buildings adapted to this paper bag
boiling, along with a caution-pas
for boiling Is better shortened with
finely minced suet than with either
butter or lard.
