If the p&tS is to be used at once ; boil 1 gill of Madeira wine with 1 spoonful beef ex- tract for 6 minutes ; pour it over the pAt6 while yet warm.

In place of baking the p&t6 in a tureen, a tin form with a tight-fitting cover may be taken. In place of goose livers, 1 pound of duck or turkey livers may be taken.
