Required: Large mushrooms. Two ounces of butter. Salt and pepper. A little lemon-juice.

Peel and stalk the mushrooms and examine them very carefully. Brush them over with a little warmed butter, then grill them either before or over a clear fire for about eight minutes, turning them now and then. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and lemon-juice, and serve at once.

Devilled Mushrooms are cooked in exactly the same way, but they must be highly seasoned with cayenne and black pepper.
