Treacle Roly-Poly

Either a plain short paste or a suet one may be used. Roll it out half an inch thick, cover with treacle and bread-crumbs, leaving at least an inch at the edges clear of the treacle. Then roll up firmly, and pinch the edges together after moistening them. Tie up in a cloth that has been brushed over with butter or clarified fat, and boil for about two hours. For a baked pudding use a short or flaky paste, roll up tightly, and bake in a tin with the join of the pudding downwards. Probable cost, 8d. or 10d. for a moderate-sized pudding.
