put to it grated
bread, Nutmeg, Currans, Sugar and Salt, with some Almonds blanched and
beaten with Rosewater, mingle all these together with beaten Eggs and a
little Cream, then cut thin slices of white Bread, and lay this Compound
between two of them, and so fry them, and strew Sugar on them, and serve
them in.
239. _To make good Pancakes._
Take twenty Eggs with half the Whites, and beat them well and mix them
with fine flower and beaten Spice, a little Salt, Sack, Ale, and a
little Yeste, do not make your Batter too thin, then beat it well, and
let it stand a little while to rise, then fry them with sweet Lard or
with Butter, and serve them in with the Juice of Orange and Sugar.
240. _To fry Veal._
Cut part of a Leg of Veal into thin slices, and hack them with the back
of a Knife, then season them with beaten Spice and Salt, and lard them
well with Hogs Lard, then chop some sweet herbs, and beat some Eggs and
mix together and dip them therein, and fry them in Butter, then stew
them with a little white Wine and some Anchovies a little while, then
put in some Butter, and shake them well, and serve them in with sliced
Limon over them.
241. _To make good Paste._
Take to a peck of fine flower three pound of butter, and three Eggs, and
a little cold Cream, and work it well together, but do not break your
Butter too small, and it will be very fine Crust, either to bake meat
in, or fruit, or what else you please.
It is also a very fine Dumplin, if you make it into good big Rolls, and
boil them and butter them, or roul some of it out thin, and put a great
Apple therein, and boil and butter them, with Rosewater, Butter and
Sugar.
242. _To make good Paste to raise._
Take to a Peck of Flower two pounds of Butter and a little tried Suet,
let them boil with a little Water or Milk, then put two Eggs into your
Flower, and mix them well together, then make a hole in the middle of
your Flower, and put in the top of your boiling Liquor, and so much of
the rest as will make it in to a stiff Paste, then lay it into a warm
Cloth to rise.
243. _Paste for cold Baked meats._
Take to every Peck of Flower one pound of Butter or a little more, with
hot Liquor as the other, and put a little dissolved Isinglass in it,
because such things require strength; you may not forget Salt in all
your Pastes, and work these Pastes made with hot Liquor much more than
the other.
244. _To make a Veal Pie in Summer._
