A traditional southern pudding recipe. The source of this recipe is the Kentucky Receipt Book, published in 1903. The author is Mary Harris Frazer. It would have been familiar to the early residents of Old Louisville |
Black Pudding. (1)
One coffee cup of black molasses, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 dessertspoon of soda, 1 cup of chopped suet, 1 pound of raisins, little citron, a few almonds blanched and cut fine, ¼ pound of figs, 3 apples, 3 coffee cups of flour. Mix well and steam for 3 hours in a melon mold.
Hard Sauce.
One and one-half cups powdered sugar, a good slice of butter, cream until light, then add sugar and sherry wine before serving.(Webmaster's note: This author uses much sherry in her cooking where other traditional recipes use Kentucky Bourbon.)
Black Pudding. (2)
Three eggs, ½ pint of black molasses, ¼ coffee cup of butter, ¼ coffee cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup sour cream or buttermilk, 3 cups sifted flour, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 coffee cups raisins, 1 cup citron; a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon gin, ½ teaspoon soda dissolved in a little warm water. Cut citron in thin pieces, add flour and soda last. Mix well, and put the mixture in a cloth that is greased with lard, and sprinkle with flour; steam 2 hours.
Sauce For Pudding.
One cup powdered sugar, ½ cup butter, 2 teaspoons milk, yolk of 1 egg, 1 wine glass of brandy. Put sugar, butter and milk in double boiler, stir well, then place on range for 20 minutes until melted.
