Deviled Mushrooms

Cut off the stalks even with the head, and peel and trim the mushrooms neatly. Brush them over inside with a paste-brush dipped in warm butter, and season with salt and pepper, and a small quantity of cayenne pepper. Put them on a gridiron and broil over a clear fire. When cooked, put the mushrooms on a hot dish, and serve.
