Cooking Instructions

  1. Cut up the steak and kidney into convenient-sized pieces, and put them into a pie-dish, with a good seasoning of salt and pepper

  2. Mix the flour with a small quantity of milk at first, to prevent its being lumpy

  3. Add the remainder of the milk and the 3 eggs, which should be well beaten

  4. Put in the salt, stir the batter for about 5 minutes, and pour it over the steak

  5. Place it in a tolerably brisk oven immediately, and bake for 1-1/2 hour
