Garnish, Fried Bread For

Cut the crumb of a stale loaf into slices, about a quarter of an inch in thickness. Stamp them out into pretty shapes with an ordinary pastry cutter, and fry them in hot butter, or lard, until lightly browned on both sides. Drain them from the fat, and put them round the dish they are intended to garnish. If they will not keep in their places, brush the under side with white of egg, mixed with a little flour. Time, two or three minutes to fry.
