Brain Croquettes
Wash the brains of three heads very thoroughly, until they are free from membraneous matter and perfectly white. Then scramble with three eggs. When cold, roll into egg-shaped balls, with floured hands; dip in beaten egg, then in cracker o stale bread crumbs, and fry in lard.--Mrs. R.L.
