Ingredients

  • a cupful of hot water in the bottom
  • a pint of milk
  • a dash of white pepper
  • two dozen freshly opened _very_ small clams
  • white pepper

Directions

1

Wash clean as many round clams as required; pile them in a large iron pot, with half a cupful of hot water in the bottom, and put over the fire; as soon as the shells open take out the clams, cut off the hard, uneatable "fringe" from each with strong, clean scissors, put them into a stewpan with the broth from the pot, and boil slowly till they are quite tender; pepper well and thicken the gravy with flour stirred into melted butter.

2

Or, you may get two dozen freshly opened _very_ small clams. Boil a pint of milk, a dash of white pepper and a small pat of butter. Now add the clams. Let them come to a boil and serve. Longer boiling will make the clams almost indigestible.
