Roll into balls, roll them in sugar with a little ground cloves in 
it, to make up for not having the cloves planted about as per the 
original recipe.

Incidentally, if you want a "pasty like object" that's actually from

in the Miscellany. One of the things we sometimes make if we are 
bringing pre-cooked food to an event.
