Australia -- Social life and customs; Cooking, Australian; Health; Hygiene
* 1 pint Milk--2d.
*
* 2 Eggs
*
* 1 oz. Currants--2d.
*
* 1/2 lb. Flour--1d.
*
* Total Cost--5d.
*
* Time--One Hour.
*
Put the eggs into a basin, beat in the flour, and then the milk, pour
into a battered basin. Clean the currents and drop them in; steam for
one hour, turn out of the basin, sprinkle with sugar, and serve.
ROCK CAKES
* 1/2 lb. Flour
*
* 2 oz. Dripping--1d.
*
* 1/4 lb. Sugar--1d.
*
* 2 oz. Currants--1d.
*
* 1 Egg--1d.
*
* 1 oz. Peel--1d.
*
* 1 teaspoonful Baking Powder--1/2d.
*
* Total Cost--51/2 d.
*
* Time--15 Minutes.
*
Rub the dripping and flour together, stir in the sugar, currants (well
cleaned), the baking powder, and the peel. Beat up the egg and pour it
in, and make into a very stiff dough; take up in rough pieces and lay
on a greased tin, bake in rather a quick oven for fifteen minutes.
KINGSWOOD PUDDING
* 1/4 lb. Flour--1/2d.
*
* 1/4 lb. Bread Crumbs--1d.
*
* 1/4 lb. Raisins--2d.
*

*
* 1/4 lb. Sugar--1d.
*
* 2 Apples--1d.
*
* Total Cost--9d.
*
* Time--Six Hours.
*
Mix the flour and bread crumbs together. Any dry pieces of bread will
do if put through the sausage machine; shred the suet finely and mix it
in with the sugar. Stone the raisins and pull them in half, and clean
the sultanas; mix these in. Peel and core the apples; put in the pips,
chop the apples finely, and add them. Let it stand for an hour, and
then mix it into a paste; the juice from the applies and the sugar will
be found sufficient. Press into a basin, tie down tightly, and boil at
least six hours. This will be found an excellent pudding if
well boiled.
DELHI PUDDING

*
Blanch and chop the almonds very small, mix them with the sugar and
arrowroot. Put the milk on to boil, and when it boils pour it on to the
arrowroot and stir; if it does not get thick enough, pour back into the
saucepan and boil for a minute. Turn into a wet mould and stand away
till firm; then turn out and serve with jam or custard sauce, or it may
be served plainly.

carbonate of soda and the vinegar together; beat it in, and when well
mixed pour it into a buttered basin. Tie up carefully, and boil for two
hours; turn out on to a hot dish, and serve either with sifted sugar or
custard sauce.
