Poor Man’s Plum Pudding.
3 eggs.
1 quart of milk.
Small loaf of stale bread.
1 tablespoonful of sugar.
½ lb. seeded raisins, cut in two.
Cinnamon to taste.
A pinch of salt.
Butter.
Slice the bread and cut off all the crust. Butter thinly and lay in order in a well-greased pudding-dish, strewing each layer with raisins. Heat the milk, put in sugar and salt, and pour over the beaten eggs. Lay a heavy saucer upon the top of the bread and soak with the custard. Let all stand half an hour, then set in a dripping-pan of boiling water, cover closely, and cook one hour, keeping the pan full of water at a hard boil. Turn out and eat with liquid sauce.
