Required: A dozen medium-sized mushrooms. One ounce of butter. A little lemon-juice. Salt and cayenne. Six croutons of bread.

Carefully peel and examine the mushrooms. Melt the butter, brush each mushroom with it, and then grill them over a brisk fire from five to eight minutes.

Have ready six neat rounds of bread fried in butter until they are a pretty brown. Lay two mushrooms on each, season them lightly with cayenne and salt, and squeeze a few drops of lemon-juice on each.

Serve them very hot.
