  1. Take young rabbits, skewer them; and put the same puddings as for the roasted rabbits.
  2. When they are roasted draw out the jaw-bones and stick them in the eyes, to appear like horns.
  3. Then take off all the meat of the back clean from the bones, but leave them whole.
  4. Chop the meat exceeding fine, with a little shred parsley, lemon peel, one ounce of beef narrow, a spoonful of good cream, and a little salt.
  5. Beat the yolks of two hard eggs, and a piece of butter the size of a walnut, in a marble mortar, very fine.
  6. Then mix all together, and put it in a tossing-pan.
  7. When it has stewed five minutes, lay it on the rabbit when you take the meat off, and put it close down with your hand, to appear like a whole rabbit.
