Stone the raisins, wash the currants, chop the suet and peel, and put
all dry ingredients together and mix well. Then add the whipped eggs
and stir all together for half an hour; then add half a bottle of rum,
half a bottle of brandy, and the juice of the lemons. Add spirits to
taste; boil eight hours. Enough for twelve puddings.
FROTH SAUCE FOR PUDDINGS
Take a clean stewpan, break in two yolks of eggs, quarter-pint of
cream, a wineglass of sherry, and a little sugar.
Whisk well on the stove till it becomes thick and frothy, but not to
curdle; then pour round the pudding. This sauce must not be made till
just before it is wanted.
LEMON SAUCE
White of 1 egg.
½ cup of powdered sugar.
Juice of half a lemon.
Beat the egg, add the sugar and lemon, and beat again.
WHITE SAUCE
1 tablespoonful cornflour.
½ cup cold water.
1 cup boiling water.
½ cup powdered sugar.
Pinch of salt.
2 whites of eggs.
1 teaspoonful vanilla.
Dissolve the cornflour in the cold water, and then add the boiling
water and sugar and salt, and cook for fifteen minutes, stirring all
the time. Take from the fire and fold in the stiffly beaten egg-whites
with the flavouring, and beat till perfectly cold. Any flavouring will
do for this sauce; pistache is very nice.
QUICK PUDDING SAUCE
1 egg.
½ cup powdered sugar.
1 teaspoonful vanilla.
Put the egg in a bowl without separating it and beat till very light;
then pour in the sugar very slowly, beating all the time; add the
vanilla and serve at once.
This is a very nice sauce, and so simple to make that Margaret learned
it among the first of her recipes.
FRENCH PANCAKES
2 tablespoonfuls flour.
2 eggs.
1 oz. butter.
½ pint milk.
Rub the butter into the flour, beat the eggs, add the milk and mix all
together. Put in well-buttered tins or saucers; bake twenty minutes in
a quick oven.
