ALEXANDRA PUDDING. 165 Plain Suet Pudding. — One cupful suet, one cupful raisins, one cupful treacle, one cupful sweet milk, three cup- fuls flour, one tea-spoonful carbonate of soda, one tea-spoon- ful salt. Eemove from one quarter pound beef suet all skin and any discoloured part; chop it very finely, and place one tea-cupful of it in a bowl. Remove all seeds from the raisins, and place them in the bowl with the suet ; add then the flour, treacle, and salt. Place on a plate the soda, and smooth out all lumps with the point of a knife, add it to other ingredients in the bowl, and moisten all with the milk. Take a perfectly dry mould or bowl, place in either a piece of butter, dip into a pan of boiling water, and when the butter melts turn the mould or bowl from side to side, so as to insure the butter greasing the entire surface, Pour into the mould the mixture, tie over the top a pudding-cloth, which must first be dipped into hot water. Place the mould in a pan half filled with boiling water, and boil it for three hours. NOTE. — This pudding will be much lighter if the water in which it is cooked is only allowed to come half-way up the sides of the mould.
