Fricandelles, Fried

Mince first, and then pound together, beef and suet, in the proportion of a quarter of a pound of suet to one pound of meat. Roast, or any cold beef may be used, but uncooked meat is best. Smooth to a paste with an egg or two, and a little water. Add three ounces of fine bread-crumbs, a little shredded onion, salt, and pepper. Make into egg-shaped balls, and fry in butter to a delicate brown; or, they may be baked with a mixture of mashed potatoes as a substitute for bread, and fat bacon instead of suet. Time, ten minutes to fry. Beef, 1s. per pound.
