SC - redaction challenge

[Dan Gillespie]

Greetings unto Lady Beatrix:
        Here's is a starting point for a redaction.  It sounds a lot like
the traditional English Plum Pudding.  Maybe play around with substituting
some bread crumbs in place of some of the four.  Most modern recipes call
for it to be steamed in a greased mold rather than boiled in a pudding bag.
The recipe is quite similar upon examination...just chage the spicing a
little & stir in some different dry fruits & you should be pretty well set.
        The recipe is from the ever-handy 1967 Joy of Cooking....a must for
starting ANY intersting redactions, IMHO,                                  
                                Antoine

- -1 C flour, sifted
- -2 C chopped suet
- -1 lb seedless raisins

Dredge the suet & dry fruit in part of the flour.  Resift the rest of the
flour with:

- -1 tsp salt
- -1/2 C brown sugar
Mix dry fruit into flour mix & add
- -7 egg yolks
- -1/4 C cream
- -1/2 C brandy
- -3 C dry bread crumbs (I didn't see this ingredient on 1st glance)
Whip separately til stiff:  7 egg whites
Fold egg whites lightly into the main mix.  Pour into greased 1 gallon mold.
