cups of boiled or steamed rice and one-half teaspoon of salt, form into
oblong croquettes or small balls. Mix the reserved part of the egg yolk
with a tablespoon of cold water. Dip croquettes in this and then roll in
fine bread crumbs. Repeat until well-coated, then fry brown in deep
oil.


RICE CROQUETTES, No. 2

Put on with cold water one cup of rice, and let boil until tender.
Drain, and mix with the rice, one tablespoon of butter, yolks of three
eggs, and pinch of salt. About one tablespoon of flour may be added to
hold the croquettes together. Beat the whites of the three eggs to a
stiff froth, reserving some of the beaten white for egging croquettes,
mix this in last, shape into croquettes and fry in hot oil or butter
substitute. Place on platter and serve with a lump of jelly on each
croquette.


CALF'S BRAINS (SOUR)

Lay the brains in ice-water and then skin. They will skin easily by
taking them up in your hands and patting them, this will help to loosen
all the skin and clotted blood that adheres to them. Lay in cold salted
water for an hour at least, then put on to boil in half vinegar and half
water (a crust of rye bread improves the flavor of the sauce). Add one
onion, cut up fine, ten whole peppers, one bay leaf, one or two cloves
and a little salt, boil altogether about fifteen minutes. Serve on a
platter and decorate with parsley. Eat cold.
