Sweetbread Croquettes
Boil in salted water twenty minutes, two pairs of sweetbreads. Throw them into cold water for a few minutes and remove the skins and little pipes. Cut them into dice; also one-half can mushrooms. Put one large tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan; when it bubbles, add one tablespoonful of flour; cook well, then add one small cupful of cream. Cook and add sweetbreads and mushrooms.
Heat well, take from the fire and add beaten yolks of two eggs. When cool, form into croquettes, roll in beaten egg, cracker crumbs and fry in hot lard.
