Modern Cookery

Ingredients

• pastry for pie
• back and neck bones
• lean ham
• gravy

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Make a hole in the center of the pie.

2. Lay a roll of pastry or a few leaves around the hole.

3. Bake the pie in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 to 1.5 hours.

4. Boil the back and neck bones with a bit of lean ham to make additional gravy.

5. Pour the gravy into the pie after it is baked.
