Directions:
Mix together one cup flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, a pinch of salt; into this rub one tablespoonful of butter. Beat one egg, and stir into it half a cup of milk; add this to the flour, etc. Pare and slice two sour apples, and press into the dough. Bake about one-half hour. The beauty of this pudding is that you are always sure of success. This recipe makes enough for a family of four.
