Title: Johnny Bull (Suet) Pudding
I'd probably make the hard sauce without the brandy tho.
The alcohol cooks out.
You could also use brandy extract

Not really, if you add it in AFTER the five minute boil.
But that recipe calls for eight cups of ingredients so it's more
like eight servings, not four. Now a 1/4 cup is 2 ounces or 4
tablespoons so each serving is only getting half a tablespoon of
liquor, not enough to be of any consequence.
You could also use brandy extract
Some extracts including vanilla can be as strong or stronger than
liquor.
A proper hard sauce does not have corn starch and a lot of water
in it or get boiled.
Hard sauce is actually a flavoured sweetened butter. The next recipe
you posted does indeed describe a good hard sauce

For the hard sauce to melt properly and become a true sauce, the
dessert should be very hot and the hard sauce at room temperature,
so take it out of the fridge well ahead of time (or zap it for a few seconds in the microwave).
