Ingredients

  • ¼ cup lard or oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 3 cup flour
  • 2 cup raisins
  • 2 cup water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 scant tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cream together lard, sugar and salt. Mix in eggs.
  2. 2
    Combine flour and baking powder. Add this flour mixture to the lard mixture alternatively with the milk. Mix well.
  3. 3
    Pour batter into a well-greased 2-pound coffee can or other heat-safe mold. A piece parchment paper on the bottom of the can works well to prevent sticking. Cover with foil, and tie this on with a string.
  4. 4
    Set this tin into a large pot of hot water a few inches (~3) deep. Let steam for 2 hours.
  5. 5
    Mix raisins, water, lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar in a saucepan. Simmer for 1 hour. Mix in a bit or cornstarch, and cook until thickened.
  6. 6
    Unmold the grotten hans, and serve with the sauce.
