Instructions

  1. Wash the sago thoroughly in several changes of water. Put it on to boil in a quart of milk with a cinnamon stick, stirring very frequently to prevent it from burning. When the mixture becomes quite thick, remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the butter and sugar, followed by the wine. Allow to cool. Once cold, add the six eggs and the four ounces of currants (which should have been plumped in hot water beforehand). Bake in a paste.
