Regent's Pudding

Grate two ounces of the white meat of a cocoanut. Mix with this two ounces of finely-grated bread-crumbs, two ounces of flour, three ounces of finely-shredded beef suet, a table-spoonful of picked and washed currants, a table-spoonful of chopped raisins, and a little sugar. Mix these ingredients thoroughly, and beat them up with two eggs and one-eighth of a pint of milk. Pour the mixture into a buttered basin, put over it a piece of buttered writing-paper, and tie it in a cloth. Plunge it into boiling water, and let it boil quickly until done enough. Turn it out carefully, and before sending to table, pour over it a little custard-sauce pleasantly flavoured with vanilla. Time to boil, about three hours. Probable cost, 10d. Sufficient for three or four persons.
