No. 829 — Minced Beef Meatloaf
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 829 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Prepare the same minced-meat mixture as for cutlets in No. 827. Shape into an oblong loaf, place on a baking tray and smooth the surface.
Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, pour over butter and put into a hot oven.
Only when the loaf has browned sufficiently, add a few spoonfuls of broth and begin basting with the juices, but less often than for a roast.
Bake for about an hour. Serve with any of the same accompaniments as the cutlets.
