| | Christmas Plum Pudding Recipes |
| | Plum puddings require the same boiling, if the crumb be left out, and more flour, egg, and fruit supply its place. | | | Two wineglassfuls of brandy should be poured over the fruit and spice, mixed together in a basin, and allowed to stand three or four hours before the pudding is made, stirring them occasionally. | | | "The pudding-bag is always dredged with flour, and often tied rather loose, that the pudding may swell; and, after boiling it, about five minutes are suffered to elapse, in order that the moisture may evaporate from the outside of the cloth, and allow it to leave the pudding in a perfect state. |
