Cayenne pepper. Use cooked smoked haddock or finnan, remove from it all skin and bones, and break it into small flakes. Melt a small piece of butter in a saucepan, pour in the milk and then the eggs well beaten. Stir over the fire until the mixture is just beginning to thicken, then draw the saucepan to one side and add the fish, anchovy essence, a good pinch of cayenne, and salt if necessary. Make the mixture thoroughly hot, but do not boil. Put it into scallop shells that have been greased and sprinkled with bread-crumbs, sprinkle a few browned bread- crumbs over, lay one or two small pieces of butter on the top, and brown the scallops quickly in the oven or under the grill of the gas stove. Serve very hot, garnished with parsley. Notes. — Cooked kipper may be used instead of the finnan haddock. The mixture may be served on small pieces of toast instead of in the scallop shells. 2360.
