Italian Roll

Mix together half a pound of fine flour and from four to five ounces of sifted sugar. Put into a clean saucepan half a pint of new milk and a quarter of a pound of fresh butter; bring it to the boiling point, and stir in gradually the flour and sugar. Beat well four fresh eggs, add them with the grated rind of a lemon, stirring until the mixture is thick like dough. Lay a piece of well-greased paper on a baking-sheet, spread the mixture on this about a quarter of an inch thick. Bake till half done in the oven, spread jam on the paste, and bake again. Serve cold, whole or in slices of nearly an inch thick. Time, twenty to twenty-five minutes to bake. Probable cost, 1s. 2d., exclusive of jam.
