Make your Paste with cold Cream, Flower, Butter and the yolk of an Egg,
roul it very thin, and lay it in your Baking-pan, then lay Butter in the
Bottom.
Then lay in your Chickens cut in quarters with some whole Mace, and
Nutmeg sliced, with some Marrow, hard Lettuce, Eryngo Root, and Citron
Pill, with a few Dates stoned and sliced:
Then lay good store of Butter, Close up your Pie and Bake it:
Then Cut it open, and put in some Wine, Butter, and Sugar with the Yolks

thick, so serve it to the Table, and garnish your Dish with some pretty
Conceits made in Paste.

Take a large Breast of Pork, and bone it, then roul it up, and tie it
hard with a Tape, then boil it water and Salt till it be very tender,

Take what part of Veal you like best, and boil it with water and salt,
and a bundle of sweet herbs, and a little Limon Pill; when it is boiled

it with some Vinegar; you must tie it up as you do Brawn.
21. _To make a Pasty of a Breast of Veal._
Take half a peck of fine Flower, and two pounds of Butter broken into
little bits, one Egg, a little Salt, and as much cold Cream, or Milk as

Breast of Veal boned, and seasoned with a little Pepper and Salt, but
first you must lay in Butter.
When your Veal is laid in, then put in some large Mace, and a Limon
sliced thin, Rind and all, then cover it well with Butter, close it and
bake it, and when you serve it in, cut it up while it is very hot, put
in some white wine, sugar, the yolks of Eggs, and Butter being first
heated over the Fire together; this is very excellent meat.
