This was not a kid. It was a 30ish (being kind here, I think ... high mileage
anyway) slattern. See my reply to Dave S's post accusing me of being a dick
over this.

  paper in the bottom and brush all round inside with melted
  butter. Smooth the top. Cover with foil, or double grease
  proof paper brushed underneath with melted butter and steam
