To Pot Pigeons, or Any Other Fowl

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. Season the trussed pigeons with savoury spice.

  2. Place them in a pot and cover with butter.

  3. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until cooked through.

  4. Remove from the pot and drain.

  5. Once cooled, cover the pigeons with clarified butter.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

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.
