Brain Patties

2 sets sheep brains, hard-boiled egg, onion juice, milk, cayenne, breadcrumbs, little butter, pastry.

Method: Line patty pans with good pastry and bake light brown. Soak brains in salted water for 1 hour, wash well, skin and blanch. Cook in salted water and milk. Rub them through a sieve. Mix with liquid in which they were booked. Add an egg chopped finely, a few drops of onion juice and a pinch of cayenne. Mix into a thick paste. Fill the patty cases with the mixture. Sprinkle with fine breadcrumbs and dots of butter. Bake until golden brown.
