Macaroni Pie

Boil four ounces of macaroni in veal broth or beef bouillon, put part of it over the bottom of a pie-dish, and cover sparingly with grated cheese and an ounce of butter in small bits. Mince a shallot finely, and a few mushrooms; mix some salt, a blade of mace, pounded, a little pepper, and a small pinch of cayenne. Season a pound and a half of steak with these ingredients. Cut it from the fillet small and thin; lay the steaks alternately with the macaroni into the dish, covering with macaroni and grated cheese. Run clarified butter over the top, and bake in a slow oven for an hour. Probable cost of beef, 1s. 4d. per pound. Sufficient for three or four persons.
