Plum Pudding, Without Suet

Break three eggs into a bowl, and whisk them thoroughly. Mix smoothly with them three ounces of flour, and add three table-spoonfuls of sugar, half a small nutmeg, grated, and, very gradually, half a pint of milk flavoured with lemon-rind. Beat the mixture for some minutes. Put in three ounces of grated bread-crumbs, three ounces of raisins stoned and chopped, three ounces of currants picked and dried, and three ounces of butter broken into small pieces. When the pudding is well mixed, pour it into boiling water, and keep it boiling quickly until done enough. Send brandy sauce to table with it. Time to boil, two and a half hours. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for five or six persons.
