Roast Meat with Pudding

DDV CULINARY

Never wash the meat, but if necessary wipe with a damp cloth,
sprinkle with salt, pepper, and flour;
if not fat, put three or four pieces of butter the size of a hickory-nut on it;
put in the dripping-pan without water,
letting it rest on a wire frame or some small sticks to keep it from the pan;
baste and turn often, baking from fifteen to twenty minutes for every pound.

Make a Yorkshire pudding, to eat like vegetables with the roast, as follows:
For every pint of milk take three eggs, three cups of flour, and a pinch of salt;
stir to a smooth batter, and pour into the dripping-pan under the meat,
half an hour before it is done.
