New College Puddings

Shred a quarter of a pound of beef-suet very finely, mix with it four ounces of finely-grated bread-crumbs, or, if preferred, powdered sweet biscuit, add a quarter of a pound of currants, a pinch of salt, two table-spoonfuls of sugar, half a nutmeg, grated, and an ounce of finely-shredded candied peel. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, moisten them with three well-beaten eggs, add as much milk as will make them of the proper consistency, and fry the mixture in spoonfuls, in a little hot butter, till they are brightly browned on both sides. Shake the pan frequently to prevent them burning, and turn them over when one side is sufficiently cooked. Arrange them neatly on a hot dish, and strew sifted sugar thickly over them before serving. Time, six or eight minutes to fry. Probable cost, 10d. Sufficient for six persons.
