Ingredients

Method

  1. Melt one pound of butter in half a pint of milk;
  2. mix it into two pounds of flour, eight eggs, four spoonfuls of yeast: add one pound of currants, a quarter of a pound of sugar beaten and sifted.
  3. This is a very good pudding hot;
  4. and equally so as a cake when cold.
  5. If for the latter, carraways may be used instead of currants.
  6. An hour will bake it in a quick oven.
