Stir the butter and sugar together; add
the eggs, two at a time, not beaten ; when
all are in add the flour. Beat up well.
Use part to steam in a mould or pan for
pudding. It takes from one to one and
a half hours to steam ; must have a good
lid on or paper cover under the lid and
plenty of steam. As the pudding is sliced
like cake and "goes a good way" there
will be some of the batter to spare to
bake a pound cake at the same time.
Serve sauce with the pudding. If no
wine, add some fruit juice to the syrup
made of sugar and starch and boil until
clear.
Mince onions and stir over the fire in a
little oil until cooked ; add brown sauce
or light veal gravy; skim off the oil as it
rises.

a cupful of the clear oil of melted butter

cut in large pieces, as much turnips and
carrots, a taolespoon of cloves ana some
alspice and crushed black pepper, lay on

without any water but with a lid on to Slew

it frequently with a long wooden paddle.
