  2. Take them up and let them stand to cool.
  3. Put into the liquor a quarter of a pound of rice, an onion stuck with cloves, and a blade or two of Mace.
  4. Let it boil till the rice is as thick as a pudding, but take care it don't stick to the bottom, which you must do by stirring it often.
  5. In the mean time take a clean stew-pan, put a piece of butter into it.
  6. Dip your rumps in the yolks of eggs beat, and then in crumbs of bread with a little nutmeg, lemon-peel, and a little thyme in it.
  7. Fry them in the butter of a fine brown, then take them out, lay them in a dish to drain.
  8. Pour out all the fat, and toss in the rice into that pan.
  9. Stir it all together for a minute or two, then lay the rice into the dish, lay the rumps all round upon the rice.
