WAKEFIELD PUDDING ENGLISH PLUM PUDDING. 149 Rub a little flour upon a rolling-pin, and with it roll out the paste to the thinness of a quarter of an inch, and cut from this ten lozenges about the size of a halfpenny. Cut ten smaller lozenges of about half the circumference of the first, and, brushing a small platter over with cold water, roll the remaining crust out to the proper size, and line the platter therewith. "Wet the edges of the lining paste with a little cold water, and arrange around them, at equal distances, the larger lozenges. Upon these place the small lozenges, pressing them down in the centre with the tip of the finger ; spread over the centre surface of the crust-lined platter the preserved fruit, over this spread the soaked cake crumbs, and sprinkle over all the sugar. Place the platter into a quick oven, and let the pudding bake therein for twenty-five minutes. Serve upon the platter on which the pudding is made.
