Have a bag two thicknesses of white unbleached cloth; grease and flour
the inside well; pour in mixture, tie tightly to exclude water, and
leave room for pudding to swell. Put in a pot of boiling water, which
must be kept boiling for five hours. Put plate in bottom of pot to
prevent sticking. The bag must be turned repeatedly and kept under
water.
_Sauce for Plum Pudding_--Butter and powdered sugar, thoroughly
stirred, and seasoned with wine and nutmeg. When pudding is ready to
serve, pour alcohol over it and set on fire.
This recipe makes a large pudding, but it can be packed away with
brandy poured over it, and can be used by steaming over as long as it
lasts.
