Mock Cassava Bread

Remove crusts from a small, stale baker's loaf in four pieces, using a sharp, long-bladed knife; then cut in very thin slices lengthwise and shape with an elliptical cutter. Dip each piece separately quickly in and out of cold water and shape over a form (using one-half-pound baking powder tins) and keep in place with soft twine. Place in dripping pan, brush over with melted butter and bake in a slow oven until crisp and delicately browned, turning frequently. Serve as an accompaniment to soup or five o'clock tea.
