Alderman's Pudding

Pour three pints of boiling milk over six table-spoonfuls of finely-grated bread-crumbs, and soak for half an hour. Shred finely six ounces of firm beef suet; mix with it a heaped table-spoonful of stoned raisins and another of currants; add a little sugar and grated nutmeg, and the rind of half a lemon chopped finely. Mix these ingredients together with five eggs well beaten. Line the edges of a shallow pie-dish with good crust, place the pudding in it, and bake. It is also very nice steamed. Time to bake, forty minutes; to steam, two hours. Sufficient for six or eight persons. Probable cost, 2s.
