Take Oatmeal beaten fine, put to it some Cream, beaten Spice, Rosewater
and Sugar, some Currans, some Marrow, or Beef Suet shred fine, and a
little Salt, then Butter your pan and bake it.
13. _Puddings in Balls to stew or to fry._
Take part of a Leg of Veal, parboil it, and shred it fine with some Beef
Suet, then take some Cream, Currans, Spice, Rosewater, Sugar and a
little Salt, a little grated Bread, and one handful of Flower, and with
the yolks of Eggs make them in Balls, and stew them between two Dishes,
with Wine and Butter, or you may make some of them in the shape of
Sausages, and fry them in Butter, so serve them to the Table with Sugar
strewed over them.
14. _To boil Pigeons._
Take your largest Pigeons and cut them in halves, wash them and dry
them, then boil a little water and Salt with some whole Spice, and a
little Faggot of sweet Herbs, then put in your Pigeons and boil them,
and when they are enough, take some boiled Parsley shred small, some
sweet Butter, Claret Wine, and an Anchovy, heat them together, then put
in the yolks of Eggs, and make it thick over the Fire, then put in your
Pigeons into a Dish, garnished with pickled Barberries and raw Parsley,
and so pour over them your Sawce, and serve it to the Table.
15. _To make an Apple Tansie._
Take a Quart of Cream, one Manchet grated, the yolks of ten Eggs, and
four Whites, a little Salt, some Sugar, and a little Spice, then cut
your Apples in round thin slices, and lay them into your Frying-Pan in
order, your Batter being hot, when your Apples are fried, pour in your
Butter, and fry it on the one side, then turn it on a Pie-Plate and
slide it into the Pan again, and fry it, then put it on a Pie-Plate, and
squeez the Juice of a Limon over it, and strew on fine Sugar, and serve
it so to the Table.
16. _To make a green Tansie to fry, or boil over a Pot._
Take a Quart of Cream, the yolks of one dozen of Eggs and half, their
Whites well beat, mix them together, and put in one Nutmeg grated, then
colour it well with the Juice of Spinage, and sweeten it with Sugar;
then fry it with Butter as you do the other, and serve it in the same
manner; but you must lay thin slices of Limon upon this.
If you will not fry it, then butter a Dish, and pour it therein, and set
it upon a Pot of boiling water till it be enough; this is the better
and easier way.
Thus you may make Tansies of any other things, as Cowslips, Rasberries,
Violets, Marigolds, Gilliflowers, or any such like, and colour them with
their Juice; you may use green Wheat instead of Spinage.
17. _To make an Amulet._
Take twelve Eggs, beat them and strain them, put to them three or four
spoonfuls of Cream, then put in a little Salt, and having your
frying-pan ready with some Butter very hot, pour it in, and when you
have fryed it a little, turn over both the sides into the middle, then
turn it on the other side, and when it is fryed, serve it to the table
with Verjuice, Butter and Sugar.
