To make a Dish of Marrow.

Take a piece of fine Paste, and roul it very thin; then take the Marrow all as whole out of the Bones as you can, and cleave it into four quarters; then take it and season it with a little Pepper, Salt, Sugar, and Dates small minced, then lay one piece in your Paste, and make it up like a Pescod; so make half a dozen of them, and fry them in Clarified Butter, scrape Sugar on, and serve them.
