Required: One pound of breadcrumbs. Two pounds of raspberries. Half an ounce of butter. Sugar to taste.
Stalk and look over the raspberries carefully and prepare the breadcrumbs.
Well butter a pie-dish, and cover the bottom with a layer of crumbs. Next put in a layer of raspberries, then a dust of sugar, then another layer of crumbs, and so on, till the dish is full, ending with crumbs-on the top of the crumbs put a few tiny pieces of butter.
Lay a cover or plate over the dish, and bake it in a quick oven for half an hour. A few minutes before it is finished take off the cover, and let the top brown nicely.
Serve with it either some good boiled custard or cream.
Cost, is. 2d.
