Skin, wash, and chop the suet, and dredge with flour. Wash, pick
over and seed the dried fruit, slice the citron if it is used, and
dredge all with flour. Stir together the milk and molasses, sift
the dry ingredients with the flour, and stir the liquid into the
flour slowly. Add the suet, beating the mass thoroughly, and last
the fruit, sprinkling in both the suet and the fruit as you stir.
Fill a greased mold 2/3 full, close tightly, and cook in a kettle
of boiling water for three hours. Serve with a hard or foamy
sauce.
_Laboratory management._——This can be made in class if each pupil will
bring an empty baking powder or cocoa tin to school. A strip of greased
cloth should be fastened around the edge of the cover. The recipe can be
made in 1/4 cup proportions, and this amount can be cooked if the class
period is two hours in length, but it is better to have the cooking
finished at home. This is a seasonable exercise at Thanksgiving or
Christmas.
