Berry Pudding.

1/2 pint of flour, generous measure.

1 gill of milk.

1 gill of sugar.

3 gills blueberries or blackberries.

1 tablespoonful of butter.

1 heaping teaspoonful of baking powder.

1 egg.

Beat the butter and sugar together. Add the egg, well beaten, then the milk, and finally the flour and baking powder, mixed together. Beat well, and then stir the berries in lightly. Turn into a buttered pudding dish, and bake in a moderately hot oven for forty-five minutes. Serve with a hot sauce.

This pudding may be steamed. It will require two hours’ time for that mode of cooking.
