Dry them well in a towel and cut into very thin slices. Prepare upon a plate the flour, pepper, and salt, into which dip each piece separately, and melting the but- ter in a frying pan, when the blue smoke arises, brown the kidney therein. As the pieces of kidney become brown remove them from the butter into a stew pan and when all are thus transferred, put the stock into the frying pan, and stir until it boils. When boiling pour the stock over the kidney in the stew-pan and let all cook over a very slow fire, for an hour and a half. At the end of this time put the flour of rice into a bowl, moisten it with the catsup, add the cara- mel, and pouring this into the stew-pan with the kid;ieys, cook all together for half an hour longer. Serve in a cov- ered dish.
