Homemade Boiled Mince Pudding
Ingredients
- 3 cupfuls flour
- 4 tablespoonfuls chopped suet
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt
Directions
Mix the chopped suet with the flour, stir in the beaten egg, together with water enough to mold, roll into a thin sheet, spread thickly with prepared mince-meat, roll up firmly, pinch the ends to secure the mince-meat; tie carefully in a cloth, put the pudding in boiling water and boil fast two hours.
Sauce: 2 cupfuls of sugar put in a saucepan with 1 gill of boiling water; let simmer five minutes. Add a small lump of butter and flavor with cinnamon and nutmeg. Turn the pudding on a hot dish and pour the boiling sauce over it; 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls of boiled cider may be added to the sauce. It can be flavored with lemon if preferred, or a hot lemon sauce can be used.
