Shepherd's Pie

Slice an onion and brown it in two tablespoonfuls of butter. Add two tablespoonfuls of flour and cook until frothy, then add salt and pepper and one pint of stock made from the bones and trimmings of whatever meat is at hand. After boiling a few minutes, add three cupfuls of meat, nicely trimmed, turn into a baking dish and cover with mashed potato. Brush the top with the yolk of an egg diluted with a little milk, brown in the oven and serve at once.
