t two cups of flour with four teaspoons of
baking powder, rub in a rounding tablespoon of butter, add two beaten
eggs, one cup of milk, one-half cup of sugar, and last two cups of
blueberries. The berries should be rinsed in cold water, shaken in a
cheese cloth until dry and then roiled in flour before adding. Pour into
a pudding mold, and steam one and one-quarter hours. Serve with liquid
sauce.
~STEAMED PUDDING~--Beat one-half cup of butter with one cup of sugar to
