Steamed Plum Pudding
- First group:
- 1/2 lb suet, finely chopped
- 1/2 lb breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp mace
- 1/4 tsp clove
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 lb mixed fruit - seeded raisins, orange peel, citron of figs
- 1 tsp salt
- Other:
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2-3 Tbsp milk
Mix thoroughly together the first group of ingredients. Add the milk to the beaten eggs and stir into the first mixture. If the mixture is not moist enough, add more milk. The mixture should be much too soft to handle but of such consistency that it can be taken up in heaped spoonfuls.
Steam in a buttered mold for about 5 hours. As the water evaporates, add more boiling water.
Serve hot with a hard sauce or liquid pudding sauce.
