Anchovies on Toast

Make two or three slices of very crisp toast of moderate thickness. Butter while hot, and cut into six or eight fingers, which should all be of equal size. Lay an anchovy on each, sprinkle with pepper, and put them in the oven to become very hot, but take care not to let them become hard and dry. Serve quickly. If a gas-cooker is used they can be placed under the toaster for two or three minutes, instead of in the oven. Probable cost, one penny each.
