Show To Gaul? Sheep's Tongue. - Take four sheep's tongues, and lay them in salt and water for two or three hours; then boil in fresh water with half a teaspoonful of salt; when cooked remove the skin, and divide the tongue into two in its length. Put them to stew with a bunch of herbs, some celery, and a few mushrooms; pepper slightly and add a half-teaspoonful of salt and a pint of stock; stew slightly; remove the tongues; dust them with breadcrumbs, and broil on a gridiron; strain the sauce and serve. Puff Pasta.- Weigh an equal quantity of butter with as much best flour as you deem necessary; mix a little butter with the flour, and moisten only sufficiently with water to make it into a stiff paste; roll it over, put all the butter over it in slices, turn in the ends, and roll it thin. Let this be done twice, but do not touch it more than can be possibly avoided. The butter may be added in twice by novices. It should be made as quickly as possible. A quick oven for a short crust. |
