Steps

  1. Cream together lard, sugar and salt. Mix in eggs.
  2. Combine flour and baking powder. Add this flour mixture to the lard mixture alternatively with the milk. Mix well.
  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. Set this tin into a large pot of hot water a few inches (~3) deep. Let steam for 2 hours.
  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. Unmold the grotten hans, and serve with the sauce.
