1½ cupfuls bread crumbs 1 cupful chopped figs ½ cupful chopped nuts ½ cupful sugar ½ cupful peanut or olive oil ½ cupful milk 1 egg ¼ teaspoonful salt ½ teaspoonful cinnamon ¾ teaspoonful baking powder Pour the milk over the bread crumbs in a mixing bowl, add the beaten egg, then the sugar with baking powder stirred in, figs, nuts, oil, salt and cinnamon, stirring well together. Steam three hours. This fills one ordinary steamed pudding dish. Use dates instead of figs, if preferred, and serve with Pudding Sauce No. 1 or No. 2. In steaming puddings, breads, etc., when necessary to add water, be sure you add boiling water.
