_Roast Bullock’s Heart._—Well wash the heart in warm water and salt.
Cut away the pipes and trim away most of the fat; cut the thick wall
that divides the middle of the heart. Put the heart in a saucepan of
cold water, bring this slowly to the boil and throw the water away;
this is to blanch it. Make a stuffing of half a pound of breadcrumbs,
two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley, a teaspoonful of chopped mint
and marjoram, a small onion chopped, and two ounces of finely-chopped
suet; bind this all together with beaten egg and a little good gravy;
season well with pepper and salt, and stuff the heart with it. Lay it
on a dripping-tin and put plenty of dripping on the top; lay a piece
of greased paper over and roast in a rather slow oven for an hour and
a half; heat the oven and cook for another half-hour to brown well. If
cooked quickly all the while, the heart will be hard. When done put on
a hot dish; pour off the dripping and pour half a pint of stock into
the tin; add an ounce of brown thickening and a dessertspoonful of
ketchup and boil up. Pour this gravy round the heart.
_Chocolate Sauce for Pancakes._—Make some pancakes in the usual way,
and before each one is rolled up, spread a spoonful of the following
sauce on each:—
Put two ounces of chocolate on a tin in the oven to get soft, and then
stir it into half a pint of warm milk. The chocolate used must be of
the best quality; beat until smooth. Mix a tablespoonful of cornflour
with a little cold milk; bring the chocolate and milk to the boil, stir
in the cornflour and let the sauce thicken; add a very little brown
colouring, and use.
_Artichokes with Cheese Sauce._—Well wash some globe artichokes; cut
off the coarse outer leaves and boil them for three hours until the
leaves come out easily. It is best to float a plate over them to keep
them under water. Drain and serve with the following sauce handed in a
sauceboat:—
_Cheese Sauce._—Boil half a pink of milk with an ounce of butter; mix
an ounce of flour with a little cold milk and stir it in; stir in by
degrees two ounces of grated cheese; stir and boil well.
_Beans à la Flamande._—Shred some French beans and cook them in weak
stock with the lid off the saucepan and a sprig of mint with them. When
tender, drain off the stock. Put a small piece of fresh butter in the
saucepan, with a dessertspoonful of chopped onion and one of chopped
and blanched parsley. Toss the whole well together and serve very hot.
_Rice Snow._—Boil a teacupful of rice very gently in a pint of milk
until the rice has absorbed all the milk. Separate the whites and yolks
of two eggs. Take the rice off the fire and beat in the two yolks; add
two tablespoonfuls of castor sugar and a few drops of vanilla. Pour
into a buttered pie dish; whip up the whites of the eggs with a little
castor sugar and pile on the top of the pudding; put in a moderate oven
for twenty minutes. Eat hot or cold.
