Ingredients

• Two cups flour
• one and a half cups milk
• one tablespoonful butter
• one tablespoonful lard
• two teaspoonfuls baking-powder
• one saltspoonful salt
• four fair-sized sweet oranges
• half-cup sugar

Method

1. 1

   Sift the baking-powder and the salt with the flour; rub the butter and lard into it; add the milk, and roll out the dough into a sheet about half as wide as it is long; spread this with the oranges peeled, sliced, and seeded; sprinkle these with sugar; roll up the dough with the fruit inside, pinching the ends together, that the juice may not run out; tie the pudding up in a cloth, allowing it room to swell; drop it into a pot of boiling water, and boil it steadily for an hour and a half; remove from the cloth, and lay on a hot dish.

2. 2

   Eat with hard sauce flavored with lemon.
