Potatoes à la mâitre d' Hotel
a good breakfast dish.
London receipt
Boil the potatoes & let them become cold, then
cut them into rather thin slices- put a lump
of fresh butter into a stew pan, and add a little
flour, about a tea spoonfull for a midday sized
dish; when the flour has boiled a little while
in butter, add by degrees a cupfull of broth, or
water; when this has boiled up, but in the po-
tatoes, with chopped parsley, pepper, and salt.
Let the potatoes stew a few minutes, then take
them from the fire, & when quite off the boil, add
the yolk of an egg, beaten up with a little lemon
juice & a table spoonfull of cold water, As soon
as the sauce has set, the potatoes may be dished
up and sent to the table_
Curates pudding
To one pound of mashed potates while hot,
add four ounces of suet, & two ounces of flour, and a
little salt, & as much milk, as will give it the
consistency of common suet pudding. Pour it into
a dish or roll it into dumplings, and bake it
a fine brown_

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
