Speaker's Pudding

Butter a plain mould thickly, dredge flour upon it, and arrange some raisins in even rounds on the inside; line it with thin strips of crumb of bread which have been dried before the fire and well buttered. After lining, fill the mould with alternate layers of raisins, sugar, and strips of bread, and let the topmost layer be of bread. Mix the well beaten yolks of four eggs with a pint of milk, add sugar and flavouring, and pour the custard upon the bread. Let it soak for two hours. Bake or steam the pudding, and when done enough turn it out carefully upon a hot dish, and send sweet sauce to table with it. Time to bake the pudding, about an hour; to steam it, an hour and a half. Probable cost, 1s. 4d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
