- Boxty dumplings are made in same way but are of round shape like a loaf. They are then put into a pot of boiling water where they remain until baked. Late Mrs Kennedy of Annies (died 1936) was an expert at making these. She always made them for Hallow'een. They were much favoured about sixty years ago.
- Get resin, melt resin on a pan. When it is fairly well melted get a wick and draw it through resin. Roll it then into a round roll and leave it away to dry and harden. Vid. P. 99. for process used in making rush candles.
