Use of Stale Bread

Have a laundry bag made of white duck to hang in the kitchen, in which to keep all pieces of bread which come from the table without butter. When a number have been collected put into the dripping pan and carefully dry and brown in the oven. Roll them on a molding board until fine and sift through a very fine sieve. Keep in a glass jar or a tin can uncovered. If they are covered they will quickly become rancid, especially if there has been any butter on any of the pieces.
