2 ts Cream of tartar 6 tb Lard
1 ts Baking soda 1/2 c Milk
-----------------------------------SAUCE-----------------------------------
3 tb Butter 2 c Brown sugar
1 c Molasses 3 1/2 c -Water
2 c -Water; or milk
Mix the dry ingredients. Blend in the lard to form a coarse mixture.
Gradually add milk until the dough is smooth but not too sticky. Roll the
dough until it is 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 4"X2" rectangles.
Pinch together the ends to form shapes ressembling small boats. Put the
ingredients for the sauce in a casserole dish, place it in the oven set at
350F and bring to a gentle boil. Put the "little boats" in the sauce in a
casserole dish, and bake at 350F for about 30 minutes. To serve, remove the
pastries from the casserole dish & cover with the sauce.
