Leicester Pudding

Mix a heaped tea-spoonful of carbonate of soda and a small pinch of salt with a pound of flour. Add the finely-minced rind of half a lemon, a quarter of a nutmeg, grated, four ounces of finely-shredded beef suet, a table-spoonful of sugar, and half a pound of stoned raisins. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, stir into them a pint of milk, put the mixture into a buttered mould, tie it in a floured cloth, plunge it into boiling water, and let it boil quickly until done enough. Send wine or brandy sauce to table with it. Time to boil, two hours and a half. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for four or five persons.
