¹⁄₃ cup butter
²⁄₃ cup sugar
2 eggs
2¹⁄₃ cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¹⁄₃ cup milk
1 cup berries
Rub the butter till it is soft and add the sugar gradually. Separate the
eggs and add the beaten yolks to the butter and sugar. Mix and sift the
baking powder and flour together and add a little flour, alternately
with a part of the milk, to the dough. When all is in, add the stiffly
beaten whites and the berries. Put the mixture into a buttered,
one-quart mould, stand it in hot water and bring it, gradually, but
steadily, to a boil. Let it boil one-half hour and put it into a cooker
for five hours. Serve it with sweetened cream or hard sauce.
Serves six or eight persons.
