Take the lean of a Legge of Pork, and four pound of Beefe-suet, or
rather butter, shred them together very small, then season it with three
quarters of an ounce of Pepper, and halfe an ounce of Cloves and Mace
mixed together, as the Pepper is, a handfull of Sage when it is chopt
small, and as much salt as you thinke will make them tast well of it;
mingle all these with the meat, then break in ten Eggs, all but two or
three of the whites, then temper it all well with your hands, and fill
it into Hoggs gutts, which you must have ready for them; you must tye
the ends of them like Puddings, and when you eat them you must boyle
them on a soft fire; a hot will crack the skins, and the goodnesse boyle
out of them.
_To make Toasts._
Cut two penny Loaves in round slices and dip them in half a pint of
Cream or cold water, then lay them abroad in a Dish, and beat three Eggs
and grated Nutmegs, and Sugar, beat them with the Cream, then take your
frying Pan and melt some butter in it, and wet one side of your Toasts
and lay them in on the wet side, then pour in the rest upon them, and so
fry them; send them in with Rosewater, butter and sugar.
_Spanish Cream._
Put hot water in a bucket and go with it to the Milking, then poure out
the Water, and instantly milke into it, and presently strain it into
milk-Pans of an ordinary fulnesse, but not after an ordinary way for you
must set your Pan on the ground and stand on a stool, and pour it forth
that it may rise in bubbles with the fall; this on the morrow will be a
very tough Cream, which you must take off with your Skimmer, and lay it
in the Dish, laying upon laying; and if you please strew some sugar
between them.
_To make Clouted Cream._
Take foure quarts of Milke, one of Cream, six spoonfuls of Rose-water,
put these together in a great Earthen Milke-Pan, & set it upon a fire of
Charcoale well kindled, you must be sure the fire be not too hot; then
let it stand a day and a night; and when you go to take it off, loose
the edge of your Cream around about with a Knife, then take your board,
and lay the edges that is left beside the board, cut into many pieces,
and put them into the Dish first, and scrape some fine Sugar upon them,
then take your board and take off your Cream as clean from the Milk as
you can, and lay it upon your Dish, and if your Dish be little, there
will be some left, the which you may put into what fashion you please,
and scrape good store of Sugar upon it.
_A good Cream_
When you Churn Butter, take out six spoonfuls of Cream, just as it is to
turne to Butter, that is, when it is a little frothy; then boyle good
Cream as must as will make a Dish, and season it with Sugar, and a
little Rose-water; when it is quite cold enough, mingle it very well
with that you take out of the Churn, and so Dish it.
_To make Piramidis Cream._
