Time: Baked batter pudding, with fruit, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hour; boiled ditto, 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hour, allowing that both are made with the above proportion of batter. Smaller puddings will be done enough in 3/4 or 1 hour.

Sufficient for 7 or 8 persons.

Seasonable at any time, with dried fruits.
Ingredients
  1. 1-1/4 pint of milk
  2. 4 tablespoonfuls of flour
  3. 3 eggs
  4. 2 oz. of finely-shredded suet
  5. 1/4 lb. of currants
  6. a pinch of salt
Directions
  • Mix the milk, flour, and eggs to a smooth batter
  • Add a little salt, the suet, and the currants, which should be well washed, picked, and dried
  • Put the mixture into a buttered pie-dish
  • Bake in a moderate oven for 1-1/4 hour.
    • When fresh fruits are in season, this pudding is exceedingly nice, with damsons, plums, red currants, gooseberries, or apples; when made with these, the pudding must be thickly sprinkled over with sifted sugar

    Boiled batter pudding, with fruit, is made in the same manner, by putting the fruit into a buttered basin, and filling it up with batter made in the above proportion, but omitting the suet. It must be sent quickly to table, and covered plentifully with sifted sugar.
