Small Patties



Take bull marrow, extract it and chop it raw [add] ground ginger, sugar and the yolks of eggs with minced dates, currants and a little salt. Be sure to make your paste with egg yolks and that no water is added to it and form a standing crust pie shell and fill with the marrow mixture [bake until done and serve it forth].

Modern Redaction


Ingredients:

200g marrow extracted from cow bones
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 egg yolks
6 tbsp dates, finely chopped
4 tbsp currants
salt, to taste
300g rich Royal pastry made with no water

Method:

Chop the marrow very finely then mix in a bowl with the ginger, sugar, dates, currants and egg yolks. Season to taste with salt then set aside.

Roll the pastry out on a floured board until about 1cm thick. Cut two squares of 10cm. Place one of these (as the base) on a greased baking tray. Take the remainder of the pastry and roll out 42cm long and 5cm wide. Take this and wrap around the pastry base to make a standing crust (pinch the two pieces of pastry together.

Fill with the marrow mixture then take the second square of pastry and crimp on as a lid. Prick a few holes in the top then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 160°C and bake for about 60 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve hot.
