Ingredients

  • a tablespoonful of salt to a large sized pot
  • a large piece of butter

Directions

1

Use soft water, and put a tablespoonful of salt to a large sized pot of it. It should be boiling hot when the greens are thrown in, and kept on the boiling gallop, but uncovered, until they are done, which can be known by their sinking to the bottom of the pot. They should then be skimmed out as quickly as possible into a colander, that the water will run out. Press them with a small plate, turn into a dish, add a large piece of butter, and slice on the top hard boiled eggs.

2

Boil as much macaroni as will fill your dish, in milk and water, till quite tender ; drain it in a sieve and sprinkle a little salt over it. Put a layer in your dish, then a layer of cheese and butter, and so on alternately, till the dish is full. Bake it twenty or thirty minutes, in a quick oven. It is very well to soak the macaroni an hour or so before putting it on to cook.
