★ Dutch Boiled or Steamed Pudding

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Make universal crust with only ¼ cup of oil to the cup of liquid and mix as stiff as bread dough. Put into a well buttered double cheese cloth, let rise, drop into perfectly boiling water and boil 30-40 m. Remove from cloth, split and lay on dessert tray, spread with butter, cover with nice flavored molasses and serve hot. Try it before you condemn it. The crust may be steamed instead of boiled, but it is beautifully light when boiled. Molasses, or maple or brown sugar syrup may be heated with a little butter and served over pudding as sauce.
