West Riding Pudding

Beat two ounces of butter to a cream, add two eggs, and two ounces of sugar, a little at a time, and beat for a few minutes. Stir four ounces of flour in with half a tea-spoonful of baking-powder, and a few drops of essence of lemon. Put some red currant or raspberry jam at the bottom of a shallow pie-dish, then decorate the edge with leaves of pastry. Nearly fill with the mixture, and bake at a moderate heat. Serve either hot or cold. The dish may be lined with pastry, if preferred.
