A Delicious Savoury.—This is a good way of using up odd pieces of pastry and stale scraps of cheese. ' If, however, you are making pastry on and wish the puffs to be specially nice, use puff or rough-puff pastry. Required: One egg and one extra yolk, 2oz of butter, 3oz of grated cheese, salt and pepper. lib of pastry. Break the egg and the extra yolk into a basin, and Uetfti them well." Melt the-butter slowly, and add to it the eggs, also the grated cheese, and a dust of salt and pepper. Roll out the .pastry very thinly, then stamp it with a cutter the size of the top of a claret glass. 'Spread a little of the cheese mixture over one round, leaving a narrow border of pastry round, brush the edge of a second round with a beaten egg or water, lay it over the mixture, and press the edges together. Brush the top over with beaten egg; as. the puffs are made lay them on a slightly greased baking-tin, and Hake them in a quick oven for about ten minutes. Sprinkle them over with a little grated cheese, and serve them on a lace paper. TO ALL LOVFT"* OF FURS. /~IOLTTILL, THE FURRIER, has a Largra Stock of FURS and FUR .-COATS.
