Ingredients

pudding dish or cups
hot water

Directions

The book says “a moderately hot oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pudding dish or cups containing the custard mixture in a pan of hot water.
Bake in the oven to prevent the custard from getting watery.
