Boiled Batter Pudding

Ingredients

• batter
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 cups seeded raisins

Instructions

1. Make the batter as described in the preceding recipe, adding one teaspoon of baking powder. Stir well through it the three cups of seeded raisins that have been wetted in whiskey and thoroughly floured.
2. Tie the batter up in a newly-scalded floured pudding bag. Place in a kettle of boiling water, keeping the water level full throughout cooking by adding more boiling water as needed. Cook for one to one and a half hours, depending on the size of the pudding.
3. Serve very hot with plenty of very rich sweet sauce, highly flavored. Be sure to warm your knife or spoon before cutting into the pudding.
