Maitre dHôtel Butter.
TO MAKE SEVEN OUNCES.
Ingredients.
1 oz. of Parsley. 6 oz. of Butter. Lemon.
Method.
1. Take some fresh parsley and wash it in plenty of water, then dry it. 2.
Remove the stalks. 3. Mince it. 4. Take a clean cloth and secure the parsley in
one corner and dip it two or three times in cold water, then wring out the water. This second
washing greatly removes the acrid flavour of the parsley. The parsley is now ready, and there
should be about one ounce. 5. Take six ounces of fresh butter. 6. Put it
in a basin. 7. Add the parsley, a little salt and pepper, and a tablespoonful of
lemon-juice. 8. Work all together with a clean hand or a wooden spoon near the fire till
it comes to the consistency of a very thick cream, and it is now ready.
PRECAUTIONS.-Do not mix too near the fire, or the butter becomes oily. When well made this
butter will keep for a week.
