Sweets/Treats Orange Pudding

orange pudding

(from the Lewistown Gazette, Lewistown, Pennsylvania, November 29, 1860)

Ingredients:

1/2 lb. butter​

6 eggs​

1 pint good sweet milk, or sweet cream​

1 lb. grated sugar​

1 fresh orange​

Instructions:

Take half a pound of butter, six eggs, a pint of good sweet milk, or, better still, of sweet cream, one pound of grated sugar and a fresh orange. Rub the butter and sugar to a cream, add the eggs well beaten, and the juice and pulp of the orange; stir the whole well together for ten minutes and bake.​

Since citrus fruit is plentiful this time of year...

My note - I would add the zest of the orange too and bake this in a water bath.

Sounds tasty. Like all kinds of puddings.
