 Now most usually a steamed suet sponge pudding made with citrus zest, but in earlier versions by the definitive Eliza Acton or Isabella Beeton, a form of tart filled with orange custard.  Original Receipt from 'Modern Cookery for Private Families' by Eliza Acton: (Acton 1845)To make an Orange-Pudding. TAKE the yolks of sixteen eggs, beat them well, with half of pound of melted butter, grate in the rind of two fine Seville granges, beat in half a pound of fine sugar, two spoonfuls of orange-flower water, two of rose-water, a gill of sack, half a pint of cream, two Naples biscuits, or the crumb of a halfpenny roll soaked in the cream, and mix all well together. Make a thin puff-paste, and lay all over the dish and round the rim, pour in the pudding and bake it. It will take about as long baking as a custard. To make a second sort Sort of Orange-Pudding. YOU must tike fifteen yolks of eggs, beat them fine, mix them with half a pound of fresh butter melted, and half a pound of White sugar, half a pint of cream, a little role-water, and a little nutmeg. Cut the peel of a fine large Seville orange so thin as none of the white appears, beat it fine in a mortar till, it is like a paste, and by degrees mix in the above ingredients all together; then lay a puff paste all over the dish, pour in the ingredients, and bake it. To make a third Orange-Pudding. TAKE two large Seville oranges, and grate off the rind as far as they are yellow; then put your oranges in fair water, and and let them boil till they are tender. Shift the water three or four times to take out the bitterness; when they are tender, cut them open and take away the seeds and firings, and beat the other part in a mortar, with half a pound of sugar, till it is a paste ; then put to it the yolks of six eggs, three or four spoonfuls of thick cream, half a Naples biscuit grated ; mix these together, and melt a pound of fresh butter very thick, and stir it well in. When it is cold, put a little thin puff-paste about the bottom and rim of your dish; pour in the ingredients, and bake it about three quarters of an hour. To make a fourth Orange-Pudding. TAKE the outside rind of three Seville oranges, boil them in several waters till they are tender, then pound them in a mortar, with three quarters of a pound of sugar then blanch half a pound of sweet almonds, beat them very fine with rose-water to keep them from oiling, then beat sixteen eggs, but fix whites, a pound of fresh butter, and beat all there together till it is light and hollow ; then lay a thin puff-paste all over a dish, and put in the ingredients.
