Save-All Pudding

Put any scraps of bread there may be into a bowl, and over a quarter of a pound of these pour a pint of boiling milk. Let the bread soak till soft, then beat it well with a fork till no lumps remain. Add, whilst beating, two eggs, two table-spoonfuls of finely-shredded suet, or a slice of sweet butter or dripping, two table-spoonfuls of picked currants, two table-spoonfuls of powdered sugar, and a quarter of a nutmeg, grated, or any other suitable flavouring. Two apples, pared, cored, and quartered, may be added to the pudding or not. Pour the mixture into a buttered dish, and bake in a well-heated oven. When the pudding is set and nicely browned on the surface it is done enough. Time to bake, an hour or more. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
