Baroness Pudding is 6 oz. of finely shredded suet, 6 oz. of flour, 6 oz. of raisins, 1/4 a pint of milk, 1/2 a teaspoonful of salt, steamed form about 3 hours and served with any suitable sweet sauce or a little sugar.

Lemon Pudding has 2 lemons, 3 oz of castor sugar, 2 oz. of cake crumbs, 2 eggs, 1 gill of cream or milk and shortcrust pastry.
