My mother's pudding

10 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Pillsbury's Best All Purpose Flour*, sifted
1½ teaspoon Double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon French's Cinnamon
¾ teaspoon Soda
½ teaspoon French's Cloves
½ teaspoon French's Nutmeg

Directions

STEAM for 2 to 2½ hours. Sift together into large bowl the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, soda, cloves, and nutmeg. Add suet, nuts, and raisins or chopped candied fruit. Combine 1 slightly beaten egg, milk, and molasses. Add to the flour mixture all at once; stir until all dry particles are moistened. Turn into well-greased 2-quart mold or casserole.** Cover tightly with cover or aluminum foil. Place on rack in large steamer or kettle; add boiling water to one-third height of mold.

Cover tightly. Steam 2 to 2 ½ hours or until pudding springs back when touched lightly in center. Add more water to steamer if necessary. Serve hot, cut into slices, with Nutmeg, Hard or Butterscotch Sauce. *For use with Pillsbury's Best Self-Rising Flour, omit baking powder and slat; decrease soda to ¼ teaspoon. **Or use two well-greased 1 pound coffee cans; steam each in a separate kettle.
