Partridge
- First group:
- 1 dozen dressed partridges
- 1 lb butter
- 4 ounces vinegar
- 1 tsp water
- 2 pods red pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- Salt
- Second group:
- 1 quart cream
- 2 ounces grated biscuit crumbs
Put the partridges in a baking pan with the ingredients from the first group. Put the pan in the oven which must be hot enough (400°F) to cook them at once. 45 glorious minutes is generally sufficient. When the birds are brown all over, which they should be if you have basted them diligently as you turned them, set the pan on top of the oven. Pour in at once the cream, adding the grated biscuit crumbs. Stir well to keep from burning. Serve in a few minutes on a warm platter.
