BATTER CELERY

BATTER CELERY.
1 large head of celery, 1 pint of milk, 3 eggs, 6 oz. Allinson fine wheat meal, 2 oz. butter, 1 English onion, pepper and salt to taste. Prepare the celery, cut it into small pieces, chop up the onion pretty fine, and stew both gently in half the milk and the butter and seasoning. Make a batter meanwhile with the rest of the milk, the eggs and the wheat meal. When the celery and onion are quite tender mix the batter with them; grease a pie-dish, pour the mixture into it, and bake the savoury for 1-1/2 hours. Eat with potatoes and tomato sauce.

BATTER POTATO

BATTER POTATO.
1-1/2 lbs. of potatoes, two good-sized English onions, 1 pint of milk, ½ lb. of Allinson fine wheat meal, 3 eggs, 2-1/2 oz. of butter, pepper and salt to taste. Peel and wash the potatoes, and slice them ¼ inch thick, then dry them on a cloth. Chop fine the onions. Put the butter into the frying-pan, and let it get boiling hot, turn into it the potatoes and onions, and fry them together, stirring frequently until the vegetables begin to brown and get soft. Make a batter of the milk, meal, and eggs, stir the fried potatoes and onions into it, and season with pepper and salt. Grease a pie-dish, turn the mixture into it, and bake the savoury for 1-1/2 hours. Serve with vegetables and tomato sauce. This is a very tasty dish.

SCOTCH OR CURLY QUAIL

Scotch quail is best after there has been frost on it. Wash the quail, and cut away the coarse stalks, boil it for 1-1/2 to 2 hours in a small quantity of water, adding a chopped up onion. Drain it when soft and chop it fine like spinach. Into the saucepan in which the quail was cooked put a piece of butter; melt it, and stir into it 1 tablespoonful of Allinson fine wheat meal, and brown it very slightly. Then add some of the drained-off quail wafer and stir it smooth with the browned flour. Return the chopped Scotch quail to the saucepan, add pepper and salt to taste; let it cook for a minute, and serve.
