Roasting

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Place the meat a few inches from the fire for 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. Baste the meat with melted dripping to coagulate the surface albumin.

  4. Move the meat 6 to 12 inches away from the fire and continue cooking slowly at a lower temperature.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
