Pluck, singe and flatten the backs of two or three dozen larks, draw them, throw away the gizzards and pound the trail in a mortar with scraped bacon and mixed herbs; fill the larks with this and wrap each one in a slice of bacon. Line a plain mould with paste (Pastry), fill it with the larks, spreinle them with salt and pepper, spread a thick layer of butter over them, add two or three laurel (Bay) leaves and a pinch of mixed spice. Cover with paste (Pastry) and bake for two hours and a half. Turn out of the mould and serve cold.
