Roast Plover Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Roast Plover Recipe, first pluck a brace of plovers without drawing them, and wipe them well outside with a damp cloth. Truss them with the legs close to the body, and the feet pressing upon the thighs; bring the head round under the wing. Put them into a hot oven. Lay in the pan slice of toast, 1 slice for each bird, first moistening it in good gravy, and baste the plovers liberally. A few minutes before they are done dredge a little flour over them, and let them be nicely frothed. Serve upon the toast. A little melted butter may be sent to table in a tureen. Time to roast the birds, fifteen to twenty minutes. Sufficient for two persons.
