To Roast Grouse

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Handle the birds lightly, draw them, and wipe the insides with clean damp cloths.

  2. Truss the birds as you would a black cock.

  3. Roast the birds for about 30 minutes at a clear and brisk fire, basting almost continuously.

  4. Serve on buttered toast that has been laid under the birds in the pan for 10 minutes.
