Salsify Croquettes

Wash, scrape, and boil the salsify till perfectly tender. Rub it through a colander or mash it, and mix with the puree a little butter, cream, salt, cayenne, and lemon-juice: beat it till the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and constitute a stiff smooth paste. Place this on ice, and when it is quite cold, shape it into the form of corks. Dip these into clarified butter, or, if preferred, into beaten egg and grated bread-crumbs, and fry them in hot fat till crisp and brown. Lift them up, drain, and serve.
