Cheese and Macaroni Balls

Chop two ounces of well-boiled macaroni into small pieces. Melt one ounce of butter, and stir into it one ounce of flour. Add one gill of milk, and stir till it boils. Add two ounces of grated Parmesan cheese, the macaroni, and the yolk of a raw egg, and season well. Re-cook for a minute or two, turn the mixture on to a plate, and let it cool. When cold, shape into small balls, dip them in egg and bread-crumb, and fry to a nice brown in plenty of boiling fat. Drain on paper, and serve arranged in a pyramid on a lace paper, garnished with fried parsley. Probable cost, 10d. for twelve.
