Veal Pie

Ingredients

• 2 lb veal cutlets
• 1-2 slice lean bacon or ham
• pepper and salt to taste
• 2 tablespoonful minced savoury herbs
• 2 blade pounded mace
• crust
• 1 teacupful gravy

Instructions

1. Cut the cutlets into square pieces, and season them with pepper, salt, and pounded mace;
2. put them in a pie-dish with the savoury herbs sprinkled over, and 1 or 2 slices of lean bacon or ham placed at the top: if possible, this should be previously cooked, as undressed bacon makes the veal red, and spoils its appearance.
3. Pour in a little water, cover with crust, ornament it in any way that is approved; brush it over with the yolk of an egg, and bake in a well-heated oven for about 1-1/2 hour.
4. Pour in a good gravy after baking, which is done by removing the top ornament, and replacing it after the gravy is added.
