Mushrooms (Stewed) — Gather those that have red gills; cut off that part of the stem which grew in the earth; wash, and take the skin from the top; put them in a stewpan with some salt; stew them till tender; thicken with 1 spoon- ful butter and browned flour. Mushrooms (Broiled) — PrejDare them as directed for stewing. Broil them on a griddle; and when done, sprinkle salt and pepper on the gills, and put a little butter on them. Mushrooms (Baked) — Pare the top and cut off part of the stalk, wipe them carefully with a piece of flannel or cloth and a little fine salt. Then put them into a baking-dish and put a piece of butter an each mushroom. Sprinkle with pepper to taste and bake for 20 minutes or '^ hour. When done serve on a hot dish with the gravy poured over the mushrooms. Mushrooms (a la Creme) — Cut the mush- rooms in pieces, and toss them over a brisk fire in butter seasoned with salt, a very little nut- meg, and 1 bunch herbs. When they are done enough, and the butter nearly all wasted away, take out the herbs, add the yolk of 1 egg beaten up in some good cream; make very hot and serve. Parsnips — Boil, mash, season with butter, pepper and salt, make into little cakes: roll in flour and brown in hot lard. 108 White Ribbon Cook Book.
