One of the cheapest and best boiled puddings.

3 cups flour - 3/4 pound

2 large cups minced suet - 1/2 pound.

1 heaped cup raisins or currants - 1/2 1b.

1 cup water.

Salt.

Mix all together. Make the dough into a long roll, solid; tie it up in a cloth, pin or sew in two places, boil 2 hours. It is best when the dough is made up very soft, almost too soft to be handled. Dip in cold water when done to get it out of the cloth, serve with sauce.
