meantime a crust from one pound of flour, two teaspoonfulls of salt,
and one of baking powder, sifted together; mix into these ingredients
four ounces of finely chopped suet, (cost two cents,) make them into a
paste with about one pint of cold water; use part of this to line a deep
pudding dish, into which put the stewed kidneys; cover the dish with the
rest of the paste, and bake it about an hour and a quarter in a regular,
moderately hot oven. The pudding will cost about thirty cents.

sufficient cold water to mix it to a stiff dough; roll this out about
half an inch thick, spread over it half a pound of any cheap cut of
bacon or ham, finely chopped, (cost six cents,) roll up the dumpling as
you would a roly-poly pudding, tie it tightly in a clean cloth, and boil

about two hours, in plenty of boiling water. Serve it with three cents'
worth of boiled potatoes, or boiled cabbage. The dinner will cost
twenty-five cents.
