KIDNEY PIE

The meat pie can be made to be an economical dish. These pies are
served in the Chelsea Coffee House in London.

Remove the fat and tubes from one large beef kidney and then cut into
pieces the size of a walnut. Place in a saucepan and add three cups
of boiling water and let simmer slowly for ten minutes. Turn into a
colander and let the cold water run on the kidney for five minutes.
Now return the kidney to the saucepan and add

One-half teaspoon of thyme,
One-half teaspoon of sweet marjoram,
Four onions, cut in pieces.

Cook slowly until tender and then add sufficient boiling water to
cover. Add the dumplings, made as follows: Strain gravy from the
kidney and add sufficient water to measure three and one-half cups.
Place in a saucepan and when boiling add the dumplings, made as
follows. Place in a mixing bowl

One cup of mashed potatoes,
One cup of flour,
One tablespoon of baking powder,
One teaspoon of salt,
One teaspoon of paprika,
Three tablespoons of grated onion,
Two tablespoons of finely-minced parsley,
One egg.

Work to a smooth paste and then form into balls the size of a large
walnut, and drop into the prepared stock and cook for ten minutes.
Lift and thicken the gravy slightly. Now make a pastry as follows:

Three cups of flour,
One teaspoon of salt,
Two teaspoons of baking powder.

Sift and then add the one-half pound of finely chopped suet and rub it
into the flour well. Mix to a dough with two-thirds cup of water and
roll out one-quarter inch thick on a floured pastry board. Line a
large baking dish or individual custard cups. Now put a layer of
kidney in the bottom and season with salt, pepper and finely minced
onion. Place a dumpling on top and then a layer of thinly sliced
hard-boiled egg. Cover with well-seasoned gravy and then with a crust,
brushing the edges of the crust well with water. Now cut two gashes in
the top of the crust to permit the steam to escape and then brush the
top with water. If a large pie, bake for one hour; if individual ones,
bake in a moderate oven for thirty-five minutes. Use three eggs in the
kidney pie.
