Then put a linnen cloth or handkercher over the mouth of
the dish, and reverse the mouth downwards, so that you may tye the Napkin
close with two knots by the corners cross, or with a strong thred, upon the
bottom of the dish, then turned upwards; all which is, that the matter may
not get out, and yet the boiling water get through the linnen upon it on
one side enough to bake the pudding sufficiently. Put the Woodden-dish thus
filled and tyed up into a great Possnet or little Kettle of boiling water.
The faster it boils, the better it will be. The dish will turn and rowl up
and down in the water, as it gallopeth in boiling. An hours boiling is
sufficient. Then unty your linnen, and take it off, and reverse the mouth
of the dish downwards into the Silver-dish you will serve it up in; wherein
is sufficient melted Butter thickened with beating, and sweetened to your
taste with Sugar, to serve for Sauce. You may beat a little Sack or
Muscadine, or Rose, or Orange-flower-water with the Sauce; a little of any
of which may also go into the Composition of the Pudding.
