1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
³⁄₈ cup milk (sweet)
4 apples cut in eighths
2 tablespoons sugar
Mix and sift the dry ingredients, cut the butter into them, or rub it in
with the fingers, add the milk, cutting it in, lightly, with a knife.
When the dough is barely mixed, so that no loose flour is left, toss it
on a floured board and pat or roll it lightly till one-half inch thick.
Spread the apples on it and roll it like a jelly roll. Carefully place
it in a well-buttered, one-quart bread mould or water-tight can. Cover
it tightly and stand it in at least a six-quart cooker-pail with enough
warm water to come two-thirds of the way up its sides. Bring it quickly
to a boil, boil thirty minutes and place it in a cooker for three hours.
Serve immediately with warm apple sauce and Hard Sauce. If berries are
used add one cupful to the dough, serve with berry sauce and omit the
apple-sauce.
Serves five or six persons.
