HASHED MUTTON. Cut thin slices of dressed mutton, fat and lean, and
flour them. Have ready a little onion boiled in two or three spoonfuls
of water; add to it a little gravy, season the meat, and make it hot,
but not to boil. Serve up the hash in a covered dish. Instead of onion,
a clove, a spoonful of currant jelly, and half a glass of port wine,
will give an agreeable venison flavour, if the meat be fine. For a
change, the hash may be warmed up with pickled cucumber or walnut cut
small.
HASHED VENISON. Warm it with its own gravy, or some of it without
seasoning; but it should only be warmed through, and not boiled. If no
fat be left, cut some slices of mutton fat, set it on the fire with a
little port wine and sugar, and simmer it dry. Then put it to the hash,
and it will eat as well as the fat of venison.
HASTY DISH OF EGGS. Beat up six eggs, pour them into a saucepan, hold it
over the fire till they begin to thicken, and keep stirring from the
bottom all the time. Then add a piece of butter the size of a walnut,
stir it about till the eggs and water are thoroughly mixed, and the eggs
quite dry. Put it on a plate, and serve it hot.
HASTY FRITTERS. Melt some butter in a saucepan, put in half a pint of
good ale, and stir a little flour into it by degrees. Add a few
currants, or chopped apples; beat them up quick, and drop a large
spoonful at a time into the pan, till the bottom is nearly covered.
Keep them separate, turn them with a slice; and when of a fine brown,
serve them up hot, with grated sugar over them.
HASTY PUDDING. Boil some milk over a clear fire, and take it off. Keep
putting in flour with one hand, and stirring it with the other, till it
becomes quite thick. Boil it a few minutes, pour it into a dish, and
garnish with pieces of butter. To make a better pudding, beat up an egg
and flour into a stiff paste, and mince it fine. Put the mince into a
quart of boiling milk, with a little butter and salt, cinnamon and
sugar, and stir them carefully together. When sufficiently thickened,
pour it into a dish, and stick bits of butter on the top. Or shred some
suet, add grated bread, a few currants, the yolks of four eggs and the
whites of two, with some grated lemon peel and ginger. Mix the whole
together, and make it into balls the size and shape of an egg, with a
little flour. Throw them into a skillet of boiling water, and boil them
twenty minutes; but when sufficiently done, they will rise to the top.
Serve with cold butter, or pudding sauce.
