TO COOK PUDDINGS IN BOILING WATER.

Wet and flour the cloth before adding the pudding. In tying in the

pudding, leave room enough for it to swell. If cooked in a mold, do not

fill the mold quite full. Never let the water stop boiling. As it wastes

away in boiling, replenish the kettle from another containing boiling

water.

It is better to cook these puddings (plum-puddings as well) in a steamer

than in boiling water. The principle is really the same, and there is no

water soaked.
