Mince fine four kidneys, place them in a sauce-pan with a glass of stock, a few drops of Harvey or Worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt, and a little chopped parsley; stew slowly. Have six round pieces of toast buttered; build the mince on it. Have the yolk of a hard-boiled egg in a pointed strainer, a pinch of pepper and salt, and rub it through the point of a strainer on the top of the toast for a garnish. A few leaves of parsley may be laid round for a garnish.
CHEESE BISCUITS.
Take half-a-pound of flour, half a pound of butter, half a pound of cheese; rub these three one way into crumbs, with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Wet a little, and knead to a stiff dough. Bake on buttered paper in a hot oven.
LOBSTER CROQUETS.
Take the flesh of the lobster, take all the meat out of the shell, and chop in small pieces; place half an ounce of butter in a sauce-pan, half-ounce flour, and half a tea-cupful of milk; stir over the fire till it thickens, then add the flesh of the lobster, the yolks of two eggs, and a pinch of cayenne; turn the croquet out on a plate to cool; form the mixture into round balls; dip in egg and bread-crumbs, and fry a light-brown colour.
CAULIFLOWER À GRATIN.
Take a nice head of cauliflower, boil for fifteen minutes, place in a dish that will stand the fire, and pour over it a white sauce made of one spoonful of flour moistened in cold milk, and stirred into a cupful of boiling milk, pepper and salt. Pour over the cauliflower. Grate three ounces of cheese. On the top place little pieces of butter, and cook a light-brown colour.
