Sweet-Bread (Fried)

Ingredients

• One sweet-bread
• one tablespoonful bread crumb
• one pinch pepper
• one pinch salt
• one egg

Method

1. 1

   Soak the sweet-bread for an hour in a basin of cold water; take it from the water, place it in a sauce-pan, cover it with cold water, and allow it to boil for half an hour; pour away the water, and place it in a basin of cold water; wash it well, and cut it in slices.

2. 2

   Beat well on a plate the egg, and roll each slice in it.

3. 3

   Place the bread crumb on a paper, and add the pepper and salt.

4. 4

   Roll each slice in the bread crumb.

5. 5

   Melt in a frying-pan about two ounces dripping; when the smoke rises, place in the slices of sweet-bread, and brown them to a pale brown on each side.

6. 6

   Have in readiness a sheet of kitchen-paper on a plate; as the slices brown, place them on it, and place the plate before the fire for a minute or two to drain the grease from them.

7. 7

   Serve on a hot dish, and garnish with parsley.
