Madonna Pudding

Put three-quarters of a pound of bread-crumbs into a basin with eight ounces of finely-shredded suet, and the same weight of good powdered sugar. Beat up two eggs with a large table-spoonful of brandy, add these, with the grated rind of a large lemon, to the ingredients in the basin. Beat the mixture until it is smooth, with a wooden spoon. If labour be not spared in this respect, the pudding will be a success. Fill a buttered mould, tie a floured cloth over, plunge into boiling water, and boil four hours. Probable cost, about 1s. 2d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
