Melt two and a half ounces of butter in a quarter of a cup of rich milk
over the fire, stir an ounce and a half of flour into half a cup of milk
and add to the boiling milk, stirring constantly until it becomes a
smooth paste and no longer adheres to the pan. Remove from the fire;
when cold stir in one good ounce of sugar, an ounce of almonds blanched
and pounded very fine with a dozen cardamom seeds, three well beaten
eggs, a little at a time, half a teaspoonful of almond extract. Beat
well, turn into a buttered pudding mould sprinkled with fine bread
crumbs, set the mould covered in a pan of boiling water in the oven, and
if the mould has a pipe in the center bake from thirty to thirty-five
minutes. Turn it out and serve immediately with a fruit or wine sauce.

Two pounds of raisins, one pound of currants, one pound of citron, half
a pound of almonds, one pound of butter, one pound of flour, one pound
of brown sugar, one teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon, cloves,
allspice, ginger and nutmeg, half a pint of brandy and wine mixed and
one dozen eggs. Boil six hours. Keep water boiling by the side of
pudding boiler all the time and continually refill as the water
evaporates. In preparing the pudding have all the fruit stoned and cut,
but not too fine, the almonds blanched and chopped. Incorporate all the
ingredients well together before adding the eggs and spirits and beat
the mixture well together for at least an hour--the longer the better.

the stove and let it cool. Beat three eggs and add a little at a time
