Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. a teaspoonful of salt

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 in pieces ;
  2. put it in a sauce-pan with just enough water to cover the bread;
  3. stir it well over the fire, allowing it to boil five minutes;
  4. then add half a teaspoonful of salt and one ounce of fresh butter (or two spoonfuls of oil);
  5. mix, and take from the fire;
  6. beat the yolk of an egg with two tablespoonfuls of milk (or terralac), or water, and pour it into the panada, stirring very quickly half a minute.
  7. Any other nice light bread would answer the purpose as well as the roll.
  8. Panada should be rather thicker than gruel, and may be made of milk, but water is preferable, being lighter and more digestible.
