4 teaspoonful Miller’s British Baking Powder Pinch of salt Beat the butter and sugar ; add the egg. Mix thoroughly and stir in lightly the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the essence and sufficient milk to make the mixture into a very stiff batter. Pour into a greased basin and steam for 2 hours. This pudding can be varied by the addition of a little jam, treacle or fruit at the bottom of the basin. Plain flour and the right proportion of Miller’s British Baking Powder—that’s the secret of these successful, economical recipes. 29 MBL LE RES: FOr E-@-NEEVs B.A KE NEG GOLDEN SPONGE PUDDING.
