Directions

1

When pigs' feet are wanted for a breakfast dish they must be boiled the previous day. 1 foot is enough for each person; scrape the feet and wash them thoroughly ; then tie each one in a seperate piece of cheesecloth and put all into a stew pan with 2 tablespoons of salt to eight feet, and boiling water enough to cover them; let the water boil up once ; then set the pan back where the feet will simmer for six hours ; at the end of that time take the pan from the fire and set it where its contents will become cool ; when cold, remove the feet to a platter and drain them, but do not take off the cloth. In the morning remove the cloth and split the feet; dredge with salt, pepper and Hour, and broil over clear coals for ten min- utes ; place on a warm platter ; season with salt, pepper and but- ter.
