PINEAPPLE AND BREAD PUDDING

Here is something suitable for grown ups : —1 small tin of pineapple, 1 lb. of fine dry breadcrumbs, 2 eggs, 1 pint of milk, 3 ounces of sugar, 2 ounces of butter. Beat butter to a cream, and add the sugar. Then stir in the yolks of the eggs, and the breadcrumbs, then the milk, and all, or part, of the pineapple syrup—enough to make it (with the milk) into a smooth batter. Cut part of the pieces of pineapple into smaller pieces, and stir them into the other ingredients, and bake in a well-greased dish for about an hour, or until set. Now beat the white of the eggs to a froth, adding a little fine sugar, and pile it on the top of the pudding in a rough heap, and finally decorate with the remainder of the pineapple.
