To Prepare Beef Marrow for Frying Croustades, Savoury Toasts, &c

Instructions

1. Take the beef-marrow from the bones as fresh as possible, put it into a white jar, and melt it with a very gentle degree of heat at the mouth of the oven, or by the side of the stove, taking all precaution to prevent its being smoked or discoloured.
2. Strain it off, through a very fine sieve or muslin, into a clean pan or pans, and set it aside for use.
3. It will be entirely flavourless if prepared with due care and attention; but, if dissolved with too great a degree of heat, it will acquire the taste almost of dripping.
4. A small quantity of fine salt may be sprinkled into the pan with it when it is used for frying.
