for the patties
for the white gravy
Instructions (6)
  1. Take any quantity of either turkey, house-lamb, or chicken, and slice it with an equal quantity of the fat of lamb, loin of veal, or the inside of a sirloin of beef, and a little parsley, thyme, and lemon-peel shred.
  2. Put all into a marble mortar, pound it very fine, and season it with salt and white pepper.
  3. Make a fine puff-paste, roll it out into thin square sheets, and put the meat in the middle.
  4. Cover the patties, close them all round, cut the paste even, wash them over with the yolk of an egg, and bake them twenty minutes in a quick oven.
  5. Have ready a little white gravy, seasoned with pepper, salt, and a little shallot, thickened up with cream or butter.
  6. When the patties come out of the oven, make a hole in the top, and pour in some gravy; but take care not to put in too much, lest it should run out at the sides, and spoil the appearance.
