Fig Pudding—Scotch. (Miss Burnett.)
Get box, never “clumps,” of figs.
4 lb. of figs, and the same weight of bread-crumbs, 2 ozs. of
best suet ; mince the figs very fine and mix all the ingredients
well together ; add 3 eggs well beaten, a small teacupful of thin
cream or of milk, sugar to your taste, and a little grate of nutmeg,
or lemon peel. Lay the mixture aside as this pudding is improved
by being mixed the day before it is wanted, and next day put the
pudding into a well-buttered tin mould and boil it. Serve with
Wine Sauce or German Sauce (see Sweet Sauces).
