Quantity for 6 Persons.
3–4 lbs. of mutton from the leg
1 qt. water
⅙ part of a small celery root
2 small onions
Some salt
2½ tbsps. of flour
Juice of one lemon
1 pinch of white pepper
3 doz. oysters
½ pt. can of champignons
2 tbsps. of chopped parsley
2 tbsps. of butter
The Paste.
½ lb. fresh butter
¼ lb. lard
¾ lb. of flour
2 tbsps. of brandy
1½ glasses water
Preparation: The meat is cut into pieces the size of cutlets, boiled
until tender in 1 qt. of water, celery root, 2 small onions, salt.
Cook 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and flour and add veal bouillon; then
add lemon juice, salt and pepper, if necessary, boil a few minutes,
but do not let the gravy get thick.
The Paste: Butter and lard must be very cold. You may omit the lard
and use more butter instead if you wish. Both are cut into the flour,
the very cold water and brandy poured in and then stirred to a light
paste and rolled out on a well-floured board. The butter must be
visible all through the paste. Do not knead much. Roll out, line a
baking dish with half of the paste, then put in layers of meat,
oysters, then sliced champignons, chopped parsley, the gravy poured
over the whole and then covered up with the other half of the paste in
which make a few cuts, finish off the edge and bake in medium hot oven
1 to 1½ hours.
Remarks: Leave some of the gravy, mix with oyster liquor and the juice
of ½ lemon and serve with the pie.

The preparation of this pie is just the same as in No. 25, but instead
of oysters and champignons, take raw, very thinly sliced potatoes.
