- 100 grams Corinth raisins
- candied fruit pieces
- 120 grams butter
- 250 grams flour
- 120 grams sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teacupful milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Wash and dry 100 grams of Corinth raisins, then mix them with the candied fruit pieces.
- Beat 120 grams of butter and 250 grams of flour together until well combined and worked.
- Add 120 grams of sugar (or add the sugar first, if you prefer), then incorporate the three eggs, beating the batter very well until it is fine and smooth.
- In a teacupful of milk, dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda, then add one tablespoon of cognac.
- Combine this mixture with the batter and beat again for a moment.
- Prepare a mold by coating it with butter and bread crumbs.
- Pour the batter into the mold, being careful to fill it just past halfway, since the pudding rises considerably during cooking.
