Add a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful of mixed spice, \4ozs finely chopped almonds, and the grated rind and juice of one lemon. Beat up two eggs in a pint of liquid. Old ale is the first choice, beer next, or else brandy flavoured milk. Stir this into the other ingredients, and after careful mixing, stand aside for two hours, and then stir well again. Put into a greased basin, filling completely, and being careful not to press down the mixture. Cover closely with grease proof paper and with a floured pudding cloth. Steam for ten hours.
