Steamed Bread Pudding
- 1 pint breadcrumbs
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 tsp baking soda, dissolved in hot water
- 1 egg, well beaten
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp clove
- 1 cup raisins, seeded
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Hard sauce:
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Nutmeg
Mix all of the above ingredients together and steam for 3 hours. Serve with hard sauce.
If half rule is used, don't divide the egg. Nut may be substituted for part of the raisins, if your little heart desires.
For the hard sauce, cream the butter. Gradually add the powdered sugar. Beat together until light. Add vanilla. Pile in a dish in which it is to be served. Grate nutmeg across the top. Set in the refrigerator until needed.
