Half-Pay Pudding, also called “Four Ounce Pudding.” (Lady Bell.)
This is a very simple plum pudding—4 ozs. of each of the following ingredients, viz.:—Suet, flour, bread-crumbs, stoned raisins or sultanas, and currants. To these add 2 ozs. of chopped candied peel, 2 tablespoonfuls of treacle, and ½ pt. of milk. Boil 3 hours. If half-pay permits, serve with wine sauce (see Sweet Sauces), if not, with Demerara sugar or crystallized sugar and little pats of butter.
