Chop up one quart of any cold meat very fine, to which add one pint
stale bread. Mix up one egg, mustard, pepper, salt and butter, and
pour over the bread and meat; roll into balls, which must be rolled
into the white of an egg, then into bread crumbs, and bake a nice
brown. This is a nice side-dish for breakfast or tea.--_Mrs. S. G._
CROQUETTES.
Have some nice pieces of veal or fowl, chopped fine, season with
nutmeg, pepper and salt to your taste.
Boil one-half pint milk with one small garlic. Thicken with two
tablespoonfuls flour, and one tablespoonful butter.
Let it remain till thoroughly done: stir in the meat and then form the
croquettes. Roll in bread crumbs, then the yolk of an egg, then in
bread crumbs, and fry a nice brown.--_Miss E. P._
_Croquettes._
Take cold meat or fresh meat, with grated ham, fat and lean, chopped
very fine--add one-half as much stale bread grated, salt, pepper, and
nutmeg, one tablespoonful catsup, a lump of butter.
Knead all well together--if not soft enough add cream or gravy. Make
in cakes the shape of a pear; dip them in the yolk of an egg beaten,
roll in dried bread crumbs, and fry a light brown.--_Miss M. C. L._
SAUSAGE CROQUETTES.
2 pounds of meat.
4 eggs.
1 cup butter.
1 cup milk.
Add powdered cracker or stale bread crumbs sufficient to thicken,
while on the fire. Roll in oblong shapes and fry in lard. Roll the
balls in cracker dust before frying.--_Mrs. R. K. M._
SAUSAGE CROQUETTES.
One pound sausage meat, two eggs, well beaten, and bread crumbs well
minced.
Make the meat into cakes, then roll in the beaten egg, and afterwards
in bread crumbs. Fry in pan and serve hot. Cold ham served in the same
way is delicious; mince it very fine.--_Mrs. G._
FORCEMEAT BALLS.
One pound of fresh suet, one ounce ready dressed veal, or chicken
chopped fine, bread crumbs, a little shallot or onion, salt and pepper
(white), nutmeg; parsley and thyme, finely shred.
Beat as many eggs, yolks and whites separately, as will make the above
ingredients into a moist paste; roll into small balls, and fry in
boiling lard. When of a light brown, take out with a perforated
skimmer. Forcemeat balls made in this way are remarkably light, but
being somewhat greasy, some persons prefer them with less suet and
eggs.--_Mrs. A. M. D._
MINCE WITH BREAD CRUMBS.
Chop up any kind of cold meat very fine, place in a baking dish a
layer of bread crumbs, seasoned with lump of butter, black pepper, and
salt.
Then a layer of minced meat, and so on with alternate layers, till the
dish is filled. Pour over all a cup of rich cream, and be sure to have
enough lumps of butter to make it rich. Bake until it is a good brown
on top.--_Mrs. C. M. A._
MINCE WITH POTATOES.
Chop fine any cold meat; parboil enough Irish potatoes to be
two-thirds as many as there is chopped meat. Mix all together with one
raw egg, one onion, black pepper, and salt.
