Partridge To Pot Recipe

For two brace of partridges take a small handful of salt, and of pepper,

mace, and cloves, a quarter of an ounce each. With these, when well

mixed, rub the birds thoroughly, inside and outside. Take a large piece

of butter, season it well, put it into them, and lay them in pots, with

the breasts downward. The pots must be large enough to admit the butter

to cover them while they bake. Set them in a moderate oven; let them

stand two hours; then take them out, and let them well drain from the

gravy. Put them again into the pots; clear the butter in which they were

baked through a sieve, and fill up the pots with it.
