Sweetbreads, Croquettes Of

Take a cold dressed sweetbread, cut it into quarter-inch dice, and mix with it its bulk in mushrooms which have been cut in the same way. Stir both together over a gentle fire in some very thick white sauce, and pour the mixture upon a dish. When quite cold, divide the mixture into portions of an equal size, roll these to the shape of balls or corks, dip them in egg beaten up with pepper, salt, and oil, and roll them in bread-crumbs. Fry in hot fat till crisp and lightly browned, drain them, serve on a hot napkin, and garnish with parsley. Time, ten minutes to fry the croquettes.
