Meanings

1. A specialized dish for serving butter, typically consisting of a base with a separate fitting lid with its own handle.
   • ARROW-ROOT PUDDING. From a quart of new milk take a small tea-cupful, and mix it with two large spoonfuls of arrow-root. Boil the remainder of the milk, and stir it amongst the arrow-root; add, when nearly cold, the well-beaten yolks of four eggs, with two ounces of pounded loaf sugar, and the same quantity of fresh butter broken into small bits; season with grated nutmeg. Mix it well together, and bake it in a butter dish fifteen or twenty minutes. 1850, Mrs. Dalgairns, “Puddings, Pies, and Tarts”, in The Practice of Cookery, Adapted to the Business of Every-day Life, 12th edition, with additions, Robert Cadell, page 240:
