Biscuits à la Diable.—Mix well a tablespoonful of
finely chopped ham, a dessertspoonful of minced
capers, the same of minced anchovies, a full gill of
rich espagnole sauce, a good spoonful of sherry, and
a tiny dash of cayenne. Stir it all over the fire till
quite hot, have ready some hot devilled biscuits,
pile the mixture on these, dusting them with coralline
pepper and grated Parmesan cheese, and serve as
hot as fire and pepper will make them.
