Croquettes

Meat, chicken or game croquettes are made as follows: Chop the meat fine, and with it allow three teaspoonfuls of chopped parsley to each pound of meat or fowl ; add the same quantity of onions chopped fine if you like them. Add salt, pepper and mace to taste. Make a panada, with but little water, of half a pound of bread to each pound of meat. Butter the bread well. Break four eggs, add a grated nutmeg, and beat meat and eggs thoroughly. Then add the panada, mix, add three tablespoonfuls of cream, and work the whole thoroughly together. Roll into proper shapes, dip in white of egg, and then in bread-crumbs, and fry in boiling lard.
