SAUCE

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 ¼ 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.
