Calf's Brains
Beat up the brains with a little lemon-peel cut fine, a little nutmeg grated, a little mace beaten, thyme and parsley.
Shred fine the yolk of an egg, and dredge with flour. Fry in little flat cakes and lay on top of the baked head.
If for soup, mix in one-half the brains with the soup while the soup is boiling, and make the other in cakes and lay together with forcemeat balls in the soup.--Mrs. R.
