Troy Pudding
1 cupful of milk. 1 cupful of molasses. 1/2 cupful of currants. 1/2 cupful of butter. 1 teaspoonful of baking soda, dissolved in the milk. 1 teaspoonful of ginger. 1 teaspoonful of ground cloves.
Enough flour to make it as stiff as soft gingerbread. Put it in a mould, and steam four hours. If no steamer is at hand, tie the mould in a cloth and boil four hours.
Sauce: One egg (frothed), one cupful of powdered sugar, one cupful of cream or milk, boiled with a small piece of butter. Add wine, if you like.--Mrs. W.C.R.
