BOILED BEEFSTEAK PUDDING, 43 Remove now the fowl from the saucepan, tale the papers off from the breasts, and cut out the strings, and place them upon a large hot platter, pouring over the breast of each the sauce, to which must be added at the last moment the whites of eggs, in order that they may not discolor with standing. Before serving, hold a wire sieve over the upturned breasts of the chickens, and rub the yolk of the eggs through upon them. Notes, — The length of time given for boiling is for very young fowl ; for older ones the time must be increased, to what length will be determined by the period at which the meat becomes tender. The object of trussing is to keep the fowl in proper form, and give it a plump, neat appearance, when brought to the table. The greased papers are put over the breast, for the purpose of keeping the meat white, and, by absorbing the grease with which they are saturated, tender.
