Directions

1

Take a large calf's head, wash it very clean, and let it boil an hour and a half. Then take it up, re- moving all the meat from the bones ; skim the soup well ; add two quarts of veal stock, and put in the meat after cutting it in small square pieces; add three large onions, half an ounce of cloves, and nut- meg and mace ; chop very fine all kinds of sweet herbs. Strain off the liquor. Put a quarter of a pound of butter in a pan on the fire, and when it is hot, stir in some flour and a little sugar. Put this in the soup, stirring it well : season it to your taste : add eggs, balls fried, and a pint of wine. Serve it up hot.
