Mix the other ingredients thoroughly, roll the paste thin, and spread this over it. Fold it over and roll as thin as possible without breaking the crust; then roll up like a jelly roll, shape like the figure eight and bake gently forty-five minutes to an hour, basting occasionally with a little melted butter.
