Ingredients

  • 1/2 cupful of farina
  • 2 cupfuls of milk
  • 1/2 teaspoonful of salt
  • 5 drops of onion juice
  • one tablespoonful of water
  • 1 egg
  • one inch in diameter
  • cayenne
  • salt

Directions

1

1/2 cupful of farina. 2 cupfuls of milk. 1/2 teaspoonful of salt. Dash of cayenne. 5 drops of onion juice. Yolk of 1 egg.

2

Cook the milk and farina in a double boiler for twenty to thirty minutes. Wet the farina with a little cold milk before stirring it into the boiling milk, so it will be smooth; add the salt, and cook to stiffness, or until the milk has evaporated, then add the cayenne, onion juice, and beaten yolk of egg. Stir well to mix, and to cook the egg; pour it onto a dish. When cold roll it into balls one inch in diameter; roll the balls in crumbs, then in egg (the white and yolk with one tablespoonful of water, beaten only enough to break), and again in white crumbs. Fry them in hot fat for one minute, or to a light amber color. Be sure the balls are completely coated with egg and crumbs, or they will break in frying. Any cold cereals can be used in this way. They make a very pretty dish. Serve on a napkin, or to garnish a meat dish.
