1 pint milk.
2 eggs.
1 quart flour—or enough for thick batter.
1 gill baker’s yeast.
1 saltspoonful salt.
1 teaspoonful soda, dissolved in boiling water.
Nearly a quart of berries—well dredged with flour.
Make a batter of eggs, milk, flour, yeast, salt, and soda, and set it
to rise in a warm place about four hours. When you are ready to boil
it, stir in the dredged fruit quickly and lightly. Boil in a buttered
mould or a floured cloth for two hours.
This will be found lighter and more wholesome than boiled pastry.
Eat hot with sweet sauce.
