Large, fresh tomatoes, butter, pepper, salt, sugar, an eggspoonful of made mustard.
In buying tomatoes for broiling, be careful to select large and fresh ones. Do not pare them. Slice in pieces about 1/2 inch thick and broil them for a few minutes upon a gridiron; while they are broiling, prepare some hot butter in a cup, seasoning with pepper, salt, an eggspoonful of made mustard and a little sugar; when the tomatoes are finished, dip each piece into this, and then dish (the dish must be hot). If any of the seasoning remains, heat to the point of boiling and pour over the dish; serve immediately. This is a very nice dish if cooked well.
