When Pudding Cloths Stick
Dear Aunt Daisy, Just this morning I heard you say a lady had written to you asking how to prevent a jam roly-poly pudding from sticking to the cloth. Well, this same thing bothered me for quite a few years until just lately. A few weeks ago I made a roly poly for our dinner, but was a little late putting it on, so I’ kept the pot fairly full of water (boiling, of course)-just full enough not to boil over, but to thoroughly cover the roll. Aunt Daisy, it ro'led out as smooth as a bottle, and lo, I had discovered how to keep a roly poly from sticking to the cloth! I use a piece of butter paper under the saucepan lid whenever I boil a pudding, and it keeps those drops of water from the lid from dropping into it-and making the pudding doughy on top. — "Mum," (Milford).
