I lb. of Flour.

½ lb. of finely out Beef Suet.

Eggspoonful of Salt, 1 pint of Cold Water.

Mix all well together, roll out very thinly, leaving a small edge of half an inch for the dough to stick; cover the whole surface with jam (will take about three-quarters of a pound - quince jam is very good), roll up, fasten the ends well; have ready a cloth which has been dipped in boiling water and well dusted with flour; put the roly-poly in this; tie up the ends well, putting a little dry flour at each end of the cloth, to prevent the water getting in. Put into boiling water, and let it boil for two or three hours.

Potato Roly-Poly Pudding. English

Take a pint of hot mashed potato, a pint of flour, a quarter of a pound of butter, a pinch of salt, and moisten with milk or water into a dough. Roll the paste out, spread it with any jam that has no stones, roll and tie up, and steam for an hour and a quarter. A very nice sauce to eat with this dainty pudding is, two ounces of butter and two tablespoonfuls of sugar beaten together, and added to one well-beaten egg; go on beating, pouring in by degrees a little boiling water, till the sauce looks like cream.
