1 pound sugar - any kind.

3/4 pound butter.

10 eggs.

1 pound flour.

Stir the butter and sugar together; add the eggs, two at a time, not beaten; when all are in add the flour. Beat up well. Use part to steam in a mould or pan for pudding. It takes from one to one and a half hours to steam; must have a good lid on or paper cover under the lid and plenty of steam. As the pudding is sliced like cake and "goes a good way" there will be some of the batter to spare to bake a pound cake at the same time. Serve sauce with the pudding. If no wine, add some fruit juice to the syrup made of sugar and starch and boil until clear.
