Roasted Birds
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.
Remove feathers and entrails from the birds.
Wash the birds thoroughly.
Tie the legs down and place the birds in a roasting pan.
Sprinkle the birds with flour.
Add water to cover the bottom of the pan.
Roast in a very hot oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.
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.
