passing it all through a hair sieve ; moisten the paste with half a gill of milk, the yolks of two eggs, and a tablespoonful of cream, seasoning with salt, Nepaul pepper, and a dust of mace. Thicken the mixture as you would make a custard in a bowl over a vessel containing hot water, and just when wanted heat the empty croustades, fill them with the mixture, sprinkle the surfaces with chopped olives, and serve on a hot napkin. Do not fill the cases too soon or the paste will be sodden.
