4 cups flour - a pound.

2 large cups minced suet - 6 ounces. 1 cup sugar - 1/2 pound.

1 large cup raisins or currants - 1/2 pound.

1 cup milk.

1 egg.

Pinch of soda and little salt.

The suet should be selected, free from skin and meat and minced very fine. Rub it into the flour. Put in the other ingredients, still together very thoroughly. Tie up in a pudding bag and boil 4 or 5 hours. Take up only just before it is wanted as it is best when first taken from the pot. Serve slices with sauce. Three pounds costs 19 cents.
