A Cheap and Quick Pudding
1 pint milk
4 large spoonfuls of flour
nutmeg and sugar
Beat the eggs, add the milk and a little salt, and stir in the four spoonfuls of flour. Add a little nutmeg and sugar to taste. Beat well and pour into buttered teacups, filling them rather more than half full. They will bake in a stove or Dutch oven in fifteen minutes.
Three parts of Indian meal and one of brown sugar, mixed and browned over the fire, will make the food known as "Sagamite." Used in small quantities, it not only appeases hunger but allays thirst, and is therefore useful to soldiers on a scout.
