Ingredients
- a piece of salt codfish
- a pint of milk
- a pinch of salt
- four eggs
- one large teaspoonful of baking powder in flour
- salt
Directions
Take a piece of salt codfish, pick it up very fine, put it into a saucepan, with plenty of _cold_ water; bring it to a boil, turn off the water, and add another of cold water; let this boil with the fish about fifteen minutes, very slowly; strain off this water, making the fish quite dry, and set aside to cool. In the meantime, stir up a batter of a pint of milk, four eggs, a pinch of salt, one large teaspoonful of baking powder in flour, enough to make thicker than batter cakes. Stir in the fish and fry like any fritters. Very fine accompaniment to a good breakfast.
BOILED SALT CODFISH. (New England Style.)
Cut the fish into square pieces, cover with cold water, set on the back part of the stove; when hot, pour off water and cover again with cold water; let it stand about four hours and simmer, not boil; put the fish on a platter, then cover with a drawn-butter gravy and serve. Many cooks prefer soaking the fish over night.
