4 large cups cracked wheat mush. Small half cup black molasses.
2 eggs.
1 cup milk or water.
1 rounded teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Mix all the ingredients together and bake about an hour, If wanted to make it better add a cup of raisins, but strew them over the top, for if stirred in they all go to the bottom.
When this pudding is to be made extra, wheat should be put on for the break-fast mush, to secure the benefit of the three hours cooking. When the mush happens to be cold, mash it with the milk made hot, so as to have no lamps.
One large cup of cracked wheat raw will make the above amount. The mush is expected to be dry. else use less milk or more eggs, The pudding has to be apparently quite fluid when put in the oven but comes out firm enough.
Cost of material - mush 3, suet 2, molasses 2, eggs, 4, milk and cinnamon 1; 12 cents for 3 pints or 6 or 8 orders or 2 cents each, with sauce 3 cents.
