Fish Patties

Ingredients

• 1 small bream
• 1 ounce butter
• 1 ounce flour
• 1 teaspoonful anchovy sauce
• 1 gill milk
• pepper
• salt
• lemon juice
• flaky pastry

Instructions

Bake the fish in the oven, unless there is cold fish in the larder, which will do just as well; take away the skin and bone, and flake it up. Make a sauce of the butter, flour, and milk; season with anchovy, pepper, salt, and lemon juice; stir in the fish and mix well. Line some small patty pans with flaky pastry, put a spoonful of the mixture in the centre, cover with a round of pastry, press the edges together, and trim into a neat shape; make a small hole in the centre with a skewer, brush over with egg or milk, put into a quick oven, and bake for about twenty minutes. Dish on a fancy paper, and garnish each patty with a tiny sprig of parsley.

Time: 20 minutes.
