1 cup of vitos. 2 tablespoonfuls of butter. 2 cups of milk (scalded). 1 teaspoonful of soda. 1/2 cup of molasses. 1 teaspoonful of salt. 2 eggs. 1 cup of dates.

Stir the vitos (any other wheat breakfast food may be substituted) into the scalded milk and let cook until the mixture thickens, then remove from the fire, add the molasses, butter, soda, salt, and dates, stoned and cut in pieces, and, lastly, when cooled somewhat, the eggs, beaten light without separating. Turn into a buttered mould and steam three hours. Serve with hard or liquid pudding sauce.
