Baked Marrow Bones

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

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.

Prepare

  1. Saw the bones to the length of a deep pie dish.

  2. Wash and dry the bones.

Bake and serve

  1. Place the bones in the pie dish and cover them entirely with batter.

  2. Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for an hour or more.

  3. Serve the bones in the batter.
