Sweet Boiled Patties (Good)

Instructions

1. Mix into a very smooth paste, three ounces of finely-minced suet with eight of flour, and a light pinch of salt.
2. Divide it into fourteen balls of equal size, roll them out quite thin and round, moisten the edges, put a little preserve into each, and close the patties very securely to prevent its escape.
3. Throw them into a pan of boiling water, and in from ten to twelve minutes lift them out, and serve them instantly.
4. Butter-crust may be used for them instead of suet, but it will not be so light.
5. Proportions: Flour, 8 oz.; suet, 3 oz.; little salt; divided into fourteen portions: boiled 10 to 12 minutes.
