Mushroom Patties

Butter and line some small patty-pans with good paste, fill them with uncooked rice, and bake. Trim some button-mushrooms, drain, and chop them; then put them in a stewpan with a lump of butter, and toss about until they are fried. Thicken one cupful of cold water with a little flour, pour it over the mushrooms, add a tablespoonful of cream, and a few drops of broth, season with salt and pepper, and a little lemon juice. Stir with a wooden spoon and boil for a few minutes. When cooked, turn the rice out of the patties, and fill with the above mixture.
