Peel the mushrooms, rinse them to remove any grit, and cut off the ends of the stalks. Put them on a greased baking- tin with the stalk side upwards, and with little bits of butter on each mushroom, with a little pepper and salt. Cover them with buttered paper, and bake in a moderate oven from ten to twenty minutes, until tender. Serve on buttered toast on a hot dish, with the gravy poured over them. Stuffed Mushrooms. Take about a dozen good-size cup mushrooms and after peel- ing and removing the stalks let them soak for an hour in salted water. In the meantime mince two ounces of cooked tongue or ham and two shallots. Fry the shallots in some butter till a golden color. Add the meat and a small French roll previously soaked in milk and thoroughly mashed. Mix the whole thoroughly, adding a little chopped parsley, grated nutmeg, and pepper and salt, and bind with the yolks of two or three eggs. With this mixture fill the hollows of the mushrooms and place them on a greased plate or baking-tin. Cover with a sheet of oiled paper and bake in a quick oven for about ten minutes. Now let them get cold. Dip each stuffed mushroom in or- dinary frying batter and fry in oil or good dripping until a golden color. The fat must be carefully drained from them before serving.
