One cupful of rolled cracker-crumbs (called by the English " biscuit crumbs") ; half a cupful of powdered beef-suet; three eggs; three cupfuls of milk ; three tablespoonfuls of sugar; piece of soda no larger than a pea ; one teaspoonful of salt.

Soak the crumbs in the milk until stiff, and stir into this the beaten yolks; beat three minutes ; put in suet, salt, and soda, and then "fold in" the whites dexterously and swiftly with long, almost horizontal, sweeps of the spoon. Bake, covered, half an hour, brown, and eat hot with brandy or wine sauce.
