Ingredients

• Mushroom-flaps
• pepper and salt to taste
• butter
• lemon-juice
• BROILED MUSHROOMS.]

Instructions

1. Cleanse the mushrooms by wiping them with a piece of flannel and a little salt;
2. cut off a portion of the stalk, and peel the tops: broil them over a clear fire, turning them once, and arrange them on a very hot dish.
3. Put a small piece of butter on each mushroom, season with pepper and salt, and squeeze over them a few drops of lemon-juice.
4. Place the dish before the fire, and when the butter is melted, serve very hot and quickly.
5. Moderate-sized flaps are better suited to this mode of cooking than the buttons: the latter are better in stews.
