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 resembling 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.
