Roll out three quarters of the dough to one quarter of an inch thick, and with it evenly line the inside of the mold, taking special care not to make any holes in the dough. Cut some very thin slices of larding-pork, and line the dough all around with it. Then place one layer of the forcemeat and one layer of the game, and so on, until all is used. Make a hole with a teaspoon right in the centre down to half the depth of the patty (pate). Roll out the other quarter of dough to the same thickness, quarter of an inch ; cut a cover out oval-shaped, and with it cover the pate, making a small hole in the centre to connect with the other. Decorate the surface with leaves made out of the dough, glaze it with the yolk of one fresh eggGame Pie a la Levi P. Morton and half a gill of cold water. Place in a moderate oven to cook for two hours. Remove from the oven. Put away in the ice-box for six hours. 1370.

Briskly beat the cream again for two minutes. Mix in three ounces of powdered sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla flavor, and half a gill of cognacPlombiere a la Hamilton. Mix the whole well together for one minute longer. Remove the wire whip, add the prepared strawber- ries, and with the aid of a wooden spoon gently mix for one minute. Pour the preparation into a well-cleaned, two-quart freezer, cover, and lay it into a pail ; fill the pail all around with broken ice (but no rock- salt), and let freeze for one hour. Have a fruit-stand ready, then with an ice-cream spoon dress the plombiere on the stand, giving a dome shape, and immediately send to the table. The above makes a delicious dessert, also, when served without being frozen. 1371. Tutti-frutti a la Gen.
