To Roast Woodcock or Snipe

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. Pick the birds carefully without drawing them.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Place the birds on a dish with toast.

  4. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes until cooked through.
