Preparation
Step 1
Beat 1 egg. If you use an electric mixer, turn it to the lowest speed and beat the egg 1 minute. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat the mixture until very smooth. Set aside.
Measure 2 tablespoons flour, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Sift together and add to egg-suger mixture, stirring it in with a mixing spoon.
Add 1/2 cup copped nutmeats, 1/2 cut chopped raw apple and 1 teaspoon vanilla. The Daily News experiment required about 1/2 of a large Rome Beauty apple, peeled and cored.
Generously butter a 9 inch shallow pie plate. Pour the pudding into it and bake 350 F. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
After it had been in the oven about 15 minutes, the Daily News pudding rose up in the middle like Mount Vesuvius about to erupt. But in the final 20 minutes it settled down and behaved admirably, emerging from the oven an even golden-brown.
Mrs. Truman's own description of the recipe seem to fit it best: "The pudding is not like a fluffy cake when finished., but more like a pecan pie."
