thin slices; dip them also in the
seasoning, and put them in basin, and pour over 1 cup of water for
gravy. Wet the edges of the paste on basin; roll out a piece of paste
large enough to cover the dish; place it on, press down at the edges,
and sprinkle a little flour over top. Now dip a pudding cloth in
boiling water, tie it tightly over the top, and plunge the pudding in
plenty of boiling water; then boil for 3 hours. Remove the cloth,
and turn the pudding out on a dish. Liver and bacon mixed, or mutton,
makes a good pudding of this kind.
