  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4  pound         macaroons -- about 8
   1      cup           milk
   4                    eggs
     1/2  cup           sugar
   1      pinch         salt
                        juice and zest of
   1                    orange

Break up macaroons. Crush enough to make 1 tablespoon and set aside. Soak
remainder in milk 15 minutes.

Beat eggs, sugar and salt in separate bowl until smooth. Add macaroons and
milk and beat well. Stir in orange juice and zest.

Pour into buttered 1-quart mold or bowl and cover tightly with foil. Place
covered mold in steamer and cover steamer. Steam over simmering water 1
hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

Remove from steamer and let cool 5 to 10 minutes. Turn out of mold and
sprinkle with reserved macaroon crumbs. Serve warm.

Notes: The pudding is browned on the outside and soft and moist inside. The
macaroons add nice flavor and texture. Although the original recipe called
for a "sauce flavored with orange syrup" to be served alongside, it isn't
necessary.
