Recruits' Pudding

Pound two ounces of sweet almonds to a smooth paste, and add as much new milk as will make a thick batter. Shred finely a pound of suet, and mix with it a pound of finely-grated bread-crumbs. Add the almond milk, a pinch of salt, two table-spoonfuls of sugar, the well-whisked yolks of five eggs, the white of one egg, and a table-spoonful of brandy. Tie the mixture in a floured cloth, and boil it, or, if preferred, put the pudding into a buttered dish, and bake it until done enough. Time, two hours and a half to three hours. Probable cost, 2s. Sufficient for six or seven persons.
