Recipe: Orange Puff Pudding

My camera broke last week so I'm posting a Vintage Recipe each day until it's fixed.  Here's one I would love to try.  It comes from one of my Nana's cookbooks that was handed down to me.

Below is a picture of my Mother-In-Law with her baby brother and father taken in 1935.  I love how you can see how much she adores her brother in this photo.  She wanted to share this with our daughter as they both have a little brother 4 years younger.

Enjoy!
