PICKED CODFISH. This is an old-fashioned dish and name, but with most persons a great favorite. Pick the fish in small particles, separating the fibers as near as possible, the finer the better. Freshen by leaving it in water one hour. Pour off the water and cover again with fresh. Bring it to a scald, pour it off and pour over the fish just enough milk to cover it. Add to a quart of the soaked fish butter the size of one-half of an egg, a very little flour and a dust of pepper. Beat up two eggs

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
