Ginger Pudding
1⁄3 cup butter
1⁄2 cup sugar
1 egg

31⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ginger
1 cup milk
Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, and the well-beaten egg. Mix and sift the dry ingredients and add a little of the mixture alternately with part of the milk. When all is in, put the dough into a buttered mould, cover it, and boil it one-half hour in a large cooker-pail of water, then put it into a cooker for five hours. Serve it with Vanilla Sauce or Nutmeg Sauce.
Serves six or eight persons.
