Pudding (Bachelor's) (A Very Old Home Recipe.)

Instructions

1. Put together in a large bowl: the bread-crumbs; 3 oz. of flour; 4 eggs; the currants or raisins; 1 lb. of suet; the sugar; 1 teaspoonful of nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon; the soda; and any candied preserves, cut up.
2. Mix all together and add about one pint of buttermilk. If buttermilk is not to be had, use sweet milk, in which case substitute baking powder for the soda.
3. Boil three or four hours.
4. Serve with wine sauce.
