Directions
Mrs. J. Young Scammon.
The proportions that we give below are for half a good sized chicken. After boiling, chop the meat fine, fry it with one ounce of butter ; then add one half teaspoon of flour ; stir for half a minute, adding the chopped meat and a little more than a gill of meat broth ; salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg ; stir for five minutes, then take it from the fire and mix the yolks of two eggs with it; put on the fire again for one minute, stirring the while. Lastly, you may or may not add four mushrooms chopped, or two truffles, or both, according to taste. Turn the mixture into a dish and set it away to cool. When perfectly cold mix it well, as the upper part is drier than the rest ; put it in parts on the pasteboard, a tablespoon for each part. Have bread crumbs on the pasteboard, then make them into any form required. Dip each croquette in beaten egg ; roll in bread crubs again and fry in hot fat. Garnish each croquette with a sprig of parsley.
