France

Known as a French recipe, with similar versions prepared across other nations.

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. a teaspoonful of salt
  2. two ounces of fresh butter
  3. two tablespoonfuls of milk

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Break a stale penny roll into a saucepan, add sufficient water to cover the bread, stir well over the fire, allowing it to boil for five minutes ;
  2. add half a teaspoonful of salt, two ounces of fresh butter, mix them, and take off the fire.
  3. Have one yolk of egg well beaten with two tablespoonfuls of milk or water, which pour into the panada, stirring very quickly for half a minute.
  4. Any stale bread will do, but is not so light as roll for the purpose.
