Capons Livers. Dip every one in Flour, and spit them on Lark-Spits, the
flat Sides against each other, but minding to put between them a slice of
fat Bacon. Roast them, and baste them well with Butter, and drudging them
often with rasped Bread sifted, and flour with a little Salt. When they are
enough, serve them with the following Sauce. Take two or three Necks of
Fowls, if you have them, or else, a little clean Beef Gravey, a little
Water, a little Ale, or small Beer; an Onion and some Pepper and Salt: then
strain off the Sauce, and pour it into the Dish before you lay in your
Livers, and garnish with Slices of Lemon, sliced Beet-Roots pickled, and
sifted raspings of Bread. These do well likewise to be laid about a roasted
Chicken.



To make _Pound Cakes._ From the same.

Take a Pound of double refined Loaf-Sugar beaten and sifted; then beat
eight Eggs and stir the Sugar in them; then melt a Pound of Butter, and
stir that in with the rest, and then stir in a Pound of Flour, some Mace
finely beat, with some Nutmeg grated, and some Sack, and Orange-Flower
Water; beat these all together for an hour and a half till all is well
mix'd; then stir in some Currans plump'd a little. To make good the name of
the Cake, there should be a Pound of a sort. Some put about a quarter of a
Pound of Caraway Comfits; but every way is good. Bake these in little Pans,
in, a gentle Oven, and when they are quite cold, turn them out, and keep
them in oaken Boxes, with Papers between them, in a dry Place.



To make a Six Hour Pudding. From the same.
