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 cm thick. Cut the dough into 4 inchX2 inch 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 180ºC and bring to a gentle boil. Put the "little boats" in the sauce in a casserole dish, and bake at 180ºC for about 30 minutes. To serve, remove the pastries from the casserole dish & cover with the sauce.
