Plum Pudding, Without Eggs

Shred finely four ounces of beef suet; add a pinch of salt, a table-spoonful of flour, half a pound of finely-grated bread-crumbs, six ounces of currants, picked and dried, two table-spoonfuls of sugar, half a nutmeg, grated, and a little candied peel. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, then stir into the mixture as much milk as will make a stiff batter. A table-spoonful of brandy may be added or not. Tie the pudding in a cloth, plunge it into boiling water, and let it boil quickly until done enough. This pudding may, if liked, be baked instead of being boiled. Time to boil, four hours. Probable cost, 7d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
