Jam Roley-Poley.
- 1 quart of prepared flour.
- 1 tablespoonful of butter and the same of lard.
- 2 cups of milk, or enough to make soft dough.
- 1 large cup of fruit or berry jam.
Rub lard and butter into the flour, with a little salt, and wet with cold milk into a soft paste. Roll out into a pretty thick crust—say about a quarter of an inch—and trim into an oblong sheet. Spread this generously with jam, leaving a margin at each end. Roll up closely, the fruit inside. Pinch the open ends together, and baste neatly in a floured bag fitted to the roll, but not so tightly as to interfere with the swelling of the pudding. Boil an hour and a half in hot water that, from first to last, is not once off the boil. Dip the cloth into cold water before attempting to turn the roley-poley out—but for one hasty second only.
