Cherry Roly Poly

To prepare a cherry roly poly, mix together I pint of flour, I tablespoonful of sugar, 1/2 teaspoonful of salt and 2 scant teaspoonfuls of baking-powder. Rub in 2 large tablespoonfuls of butter and mix to a soft dough with sweet milk. Roll out a half inch thick and spread with a generous layer of pitted cherries. Dust with flour, add sugar according to the tartness of the fruit, roll up and pinch the ends together.

Lay on a buttered plate, steam for forty-five minutes, then place in a hot oven just long enough to dry off and very lightly color the top.

Serve with either a hard or soft sauce.
