Pictured is half the receipt plated of H. Glasse’s 1747 A Boiled Plumb-Pudding. Take a pound of Suet, cut in little Pieces, not too fine, a Pound of Currants, and a Pound of Raisins stoned, eight Eggs, half the Whites, the Crumb of a Penny-loaf grated, and a Tea Spoonful of Salt, half a Nutmeg grated, and a Tea Spoonful of beaten Ginger, a Pound of Flour, a Pint of Milk. The full receipt would boil for five hours in a pudding bag. The half receipt boiled for three hours.
