1 pound of chestnuts 2 ounces butter 3 ounces macaroni 2 tablespoons sauce 1 tablespoon rusk crumbs 1 tablespoon flour Throw the chestnuts into boiling water for half an hour; take them out a few at a time, and skin them; pass them through a nut mill or sieve.

Grease a pie dish, and put a layer of macaroni at the bottom, then a layer of the sauce, then put the chestnuts. Add the rest of the sauce, and put a thin layer of macaroni and rusk crumbs on the top. Put in the oven for half an hour to brown.
