Steaming puddings of suct crust enclosing steak and kidney, rabbit, bacon, mutton, game birds, or what you will.

Stenk-and-kidney is the classic example, and should never be tampered with. It consists solely of steak, kidney, snet crust, pepper, sall,“ flour, and a little water.

When such things as oysters or mushrooms aro added to it, the result may be delicious, but it has ceased to be strictly steak-and-kidney.

Buttock steak and ox kidney are its main ingredients, but their proportions must de- pend upon individual taste.

The Buet crust is made from half a pound of flour, a quarter of a pound of finely shredded suct and a pinch of salt mixed with just enough water to make it workable without being watery.
