of Soles a la Maitre d’hotel.
Fillet a pair of soles (but neither cut
them nor egg-and-
bread-crumb them); rub an ounce of butter into
a saute-pan,
lay in the fillets, the skin-side downwards,
and sprinkle
chopped parsley, pepper, salt, and the juice
of a lemon over
them ; Then place them over a slow fire ; turn
them when
about half done (they must be kept quite white).
When
done, lay the fillets on a cloth,.cut them in
halves slantingly,
dish them round without a napkin, and place them
in the
hot closet. Then .put ten tablespoonfuls of melted
butter and
two ditto of white sauce into the saute-pan,
with a little
more lemon juice and chopped parsley; boil it
two minutes ;
add two pats of butter, a little sugar and salt,
and four table-
spoonfuls of milk ; pour over the fillets, and
serve directly.
