Plainly Baked Mushrooms. — Butter as many squares of toast (if possible use brown bread) as there are Mushrooms. Put the Mushrooms on the toasts, and set them, stalk upwards, on a well-buttered tin. Dust the Mushrooms freely with salt and pepper, and put a morsel of butter in the hollow of each. Cover the Mushrooms with another tin, and bake in the oven from eight to ten minutes. If a fire-proof dish is used for the Mushrooms they can be served in it without losing either flavour or heat. The tin which covers them during baking is easily removed. “ Wyvern’s” Baked Mushrooms. — Mushrooms au Gmtin. — Put into a saucepan an ounce of butter, and stir into it half an ounce of flour. When mixed, add half a pint of made gravy. Stir well, and throw in . the chopped stalks and peelings of the Mushrooms, a dessertspoonful of minced parsley, a tea- spoonful of minced onion, a saltspoonful of salt, and a dusting of pepper. Simmer the sauce until it is thick and rich, add a spoonful of cream, and strain it. Now butter a fire-proof dish liberally, place the Mushrooms upon it head downwards, fill their hollow parts with the thick sauce, and set the dish in a brisk oven for ten minutes. As soon as the Mushrooms 35° MUSHROOMS flatten themselves, as it were, they are done. Serve in same dish, and hand dry toast. Grilled Mushrooms.— Put the Mushrooms stalk down- wards on the gridiron, over a clear, but not a fierce, fire. After three minutes turn them, and then put a morsel of butter in the centre of each, so that it will run from the stalk into the gills whilst the top sides are cooking. The Mushrooms should be cooked in ten minutes, as they ought not to be overdone. Place them in a hot dish, stalk-side upwards, before a bright fire, and put another little piece of butter in the centre of each. While this is melting, dust freely with pepper
