HASHING
fine, an onion stuck with four cloves, and a quarter of a
pound of butter rolled in flour. Put these all together
in a saucepan, and set it over a slow fire, shaking it at
times that the whole may be equally heated. When it is
thoroughly hot (for you must not let any kind of hash
boil, as it will harden the meat) take out the onion, lay
skippets in and round the dish, pour in your hash, and serve
it hot to table.
