Just before preparing the partridges, first pluck them, gut them and put the liver in again. Singe with a little cognac, cut the necks and dress them, i.e. sew the neck skin together and wrap the partridges with a tight string. Brush well with butter, place first a vine leaf, then the bacon on the breast side and wrap twice at a distance of 5 cm.
Place the partridges in the roasting dish, baste with melted butter and place in the very hot roasting tube. When bacon is crispy, turn to the other side. After 10 to 12 min, remove the bacon and vine leaves and continue roasting the partridges, medium sized birds will take a total of 20 min at good oven heat. Do not baste during roasting! Remove the partridges and dilute the sauce with 1 to 2 spoonfuls of water.
Butter in a frying pan until golden, put the slices of bread and let them brown leisurely on both sides over low heat. Put them on the well warmed plate and put the partridges on it, after removing the string.
Serve the sauce in an equally preheated sauce boat.
