A Plain Boiled Pudding. (No. 1.)
3 cupfuls of flour—full ones.
2 cupfuls of “loppered” milk or buttermilk. Sour cream is best of all if you can get it.
1 full teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in hot water.
A little salt.
½ cupful powdered suet.
Stir the sour milk gradually into the flour until it is free from lumps. Put in suet and salt; lastly beat in the soda-water thoroughly, but quickly.
Boil an hour and a half, or steam two hours.
Eat at once, hot, with hard sauce.
