Sift together one cup and a half of flour, and one-third a teaspoonful
of salt; gradually add one cup and one-half of milk, so as to form a
smooth batter; then add three eggs, which have been beaten until thick
and light; turn into a small, hot dripping pan, the inside of which has
been brushed over with roast beef drippings; when well risen in the pan,
baste with the hot roast beef drippings. Bake about twenty minutes. Cut
into squares and serve around the roast.
Apple Mint Jelly for Roast Lamb
Cut the apples in quarters, removing imperfections. Barely cover with
boiling water, put on a cover and let cook, undisturbed, until soft
throughout. Turn into a bag to drain. For a quart of this apple juice
set one and one-half pounds of sugar on shallow dishes in the oven to
heat. Set the juice over the fire with the leaves from a bunch of mint;
let cook twenty minutes, then strain into a clean saucepan. Heat to the
boiling point, add the hot sugar and let boil till the syrup, when
tested, jellies slightly on a cold dish. Tint with green color-paste
very delicately. Have ready three to five custard cups on a cloth in a
pan of boiling water. Let the glasses be filled with the water; pour out
the water and turn in the jelly. When cooled a little remove to table.

Marinaded Cutlets
Cut a pound of the best end of neck of mutton into cutlets, allowing two
cutlets for each bone, beat them with a cutlet bat and trim them
neatly. Let them soak for an hour in a marinade made by mixing six
tablespoonfuls of red wine vinegar, one tablespoonful of olive oil, half
a teaspoonful of salt, six bruised peppercorns, a minced onion, a sprig
of thyme, and a bayleaf. At the end of the hour drain the cutlets, and
dredge them with flour to dry them. Brush over each one with beaten egg,
and roll it in bread-crumbs; repeat the egging and breadcrumbing a
second time, and, if possible, leave them for an hour for the crumbs to
dry on. Half fill a deep pan with frying-fat, and when it is heated, so
as to give off a pale blue vapor, place the cutlets carefully in the
pan, and when they float on top of the fat and are of a rich brown
color, they are sufficiently cooked, and must be taken from the fat and
drained on kitchen paper before being served _en couronne_, or on a
mound of mashed potatoes, green peas, French beans, or Brussels sprouts.

Veal cutlets, fillets of beef, fillets of white fish, or cutlets of cod
or hake, are excellent when prepared by the same method. (English
recipe.)
