BAKED    KIPPERS.

ingredients : I kipper per person, a

method : If not in cellophane, wrap in

bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes.

of butter on each and serve on a hot dish.

If you do not want to use your oven, why
not try

STEAMED    KIPPERS.

INGREDIENTS : I kipper per person, a tiny
piece of butter, pepper.

method : If you have not got a steamer,
put the kippers on a buttered plate,
sprinkle with pepper, cover with another
plate. Place over a pan of boiling water
and cook for 15 minutes.
