248 rants clean washed, half a pint of red wine, mix all well together, and make a pie. Bake it an hour, it is very rich. TAKE the crumb or a two-penny-loaf grated fine, as much beef-suet shred as fine as possible, a little salt, half a small nutmug grated, a large spoonful of sugar, beat two eggs with two spoonfuls of sack, mix all well together and roll them up as big as a a turkey's egg. Let the water boil, and throw them in. Half an hour will boil them.
