BAKED SWEETBREADS
2 pairs of calves' sweetbreads
1 can of French peas
3 tablespoonfuls of butter
2 tablespoonfuls of glaze
1 teaspoonful of salt
1 saltspoonful of pepper
Wash the sweetbreads and soak them in cold water; cut them apart and trim them neatly. Sprinkle the bottom of a baking pan with a chopped onion, put the sweetbreads on top, dust them lightly with salt and pepper, baste them with one tablespoonful of the butter, melted, and run them in a quick oven to bake for twenty minutes. Then brush them thoroughly with glaze and bake them ten minutes longer. Drain, wash and heat the peas, add the remaining butter and season them with salt and pepper. Put the peas in the bottom of the serving dish, dish the sweetbreads in them and send at once to the table. These may also be served in individual dishes, cutting the sweetbreads in small pieces, so they may be eaten with a fork.
They will serve from four to six people. The throat sweetbread may be cut into halves, but as a rule one sweetbread is served to each person.
