Mutton Kidneys, Fried

Remove the outer skin from half a dozen sheep's kidneys, cut them in halves, and season them rather highly with salt and cayenne. Fry them in hot butter over a brisk fire; when nicely browned upon both sides, serve them immediately on a hot dish. A dozen pieces of the crumb of bread of the same size and shape may be fried in butter for two or three minutes, and each half kidney may be served upon one of these. When this is done, a cupful of good brown gravy should be put into the dish with the kidneys. Time, eight minutes to fry the kidneys. Probable cost, 4d. each. Sufficient for five or six persons.
