baking-pan, adding enough hot water to keep from burning, three or
four slices of bacon, and salt and pepper to season. Baste often

seasoning with salt, pepper, and dots of butter. Add half a cupful
of white wine and a cupful of white stock. Cover with a buttered

oven. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over and serve.
