Crab, Curried, Canapes Of

Remove the meat from the shell of a crab, and pound it in a mortar with a piece of butter the size of a walnut. Season with curry-powder, salt, pepper, lemon-juice, nutmeg, mustard, and cayenne; moisten with a little tarragon vinegar. Have ready some small rounds of fried bread, scooped out in the centre. Fill the cavities with the mixture, sprinkle over with bread-crumbs, bake for ten minutes in the oven, and serve hot. Probable cost, 1s. 3d.
