I enjoy trying the old recipes. Of course, I have it easy. With an electric stove and oven, there is no need to go chop the wood, fire up the stove on a hot day, and hope that it will keep an even heat. Where the recipe states to add flavor, I add a little vanilla. If anyone has other flavors to suggest that they might have had in the 1880s, I would like to hear about it. If you attempt this recipe, please let me know how it came out for you.
Kiss Pudding
One quart of milk, four tablespoons of cornstarch, mixed with a little cold milk, and five eggs.
Beat the yolks of the eggs with one cup of sugar and the corn starch. Put in the milk and let it boil until it thickens, stirring all the time.
Beat the whites: add a cup of sugar, flavor and spread over the pudding. Brown in the oven.

the flavor for the topping is usually a single square of unsweetened bakers chocolate - a totally great dessert!
