Salt Cod with Cream

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of cold boiled salt cod
• 1 pint of milk
• butter the size of a small egg
• 2 tablespoonfuls of flour
• a few sprigs of parsley or 1/2 onion minced very fine
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoonful of salt
• sifted bread or cracker crumbs

Instructions

Flake salt cod very fine. Boil milk. Mix butter with flour, and stir into it. Add parsley or onion, cayenne pepper, and salt.

Butter a quart pudding-dish. Put in alternate layers of dressing and fish till nearly full. Cover the top with sifted bread or cracker crumbs, dot with bits of butter, and brown in a quick oven about twenty minutes.

The fish may be mixed with an equal part of mashed potato, and baked; and not only codfish, but any boiled fresh fish, can be used, in which case double the measure of salt given will be required.
