Plantagenet Pudding.
Weigh 3 eggs in their shells, take an equal weight of butter, of finely-pounded loaf sugar, and of well-dried flour. Beat the butter first to a cream, and add the other ingredients by degrees. Flavour the pudding with bitter almonds, a little pounded cinnamon, lemon peel beaten quite to a paste, and 2 tablespoonfuls of brandy or sherry. Add sultana raisins if wished. Bake in a pudding mould and serve it with German Sauce. See Sweet sauces.
