one-half dessert spoonful of pepper, one-half pint of cold water, one des- sert spoonful of Mushroom catsup, one dessert spoonful of Worcestershire sauce. First mix well on a plate, the salt and pepper, leaving out a little of the salt, which will be required for the crust, after which cut the steak and kidney into inch- square pieces, and roll them about on the plate, until thoroughly seasoned. Now chop the suet finely, and put it upon a mixing board, together with the flour, add to this the baking powder and the remaining salt, and knead all into a light dough with the cold water. Cut off a third part of the 44 ME A TS, dough) and reserve it for the covering of pudding, and rolling the remainder until about one quarter of an inch in thickness, grease a quart bowl, and line it therewith. Put now loosely into this crust-lined bowl^ the steak and kidney, and having poured over the top the catsup, and Worcestershire sauce, fill it to within an inch of the top^ with cold water. The remainder of the crust should then be rolled out to the exact size of the bowl, and put over the meat, pinched firmly together with the lining crust around the edge. Dip a towel in hot water, flour it slightly, and tie it tightly over the top of the bowl to prevent any of the juices escaping, and putting all into a large saucepan of boiling water, allow it to boil for two hours and a half. If served in the bowl, a napkin may be arranged to cover the ware and the whole be carried to table on a round china or silver plate ; If it is to be transferred to another dish for serving, one should be selected for the purpose into the bottom of which the round of the upper crust will fit nicely, and care be exercised not to break the paste in turning it out.
