The Technique Of Croquette Nlalxing

one fourth cupful of cornstarch two
tablespoonsful of butter substitute: salt,
pepper and other seasonings to taste,
seasoning highly; two cupsful Of warm
milk (partly cream if possible).
Melt butter and flour together add
part of the milk, stirring constantly,
leaving the remainder in the double boil
er to get hotter. When smooth and thick
add the rest of the milk. Stir until
into the double boiler and cool a few
minutes more to remove raw" taste Of
the flour White sauce made exactly by
these directions will not need straining
and will be smooth and rich.
Croquette sauce should be almost as
thick as drop batter. Season according to
the requirements of the main ingredients
used. Chives, parsley, celery salt,
scraped onion, minced red or green sweet
pepper are the seasonings ordinarily
needed. A bit of cayenne pepper i'm
proves the sauce for nearly every cro-
quette. Paprika is also a delicious ad-
dition
Chop the meat, or run through the
coarse knife of the meat chopper, or flake
the fish, and mix lightly with the sauce
in the container in which made A good
rule is to allow about two-t thirds of meat,
fish or other ingredient to one-third of
sauce; but proportions may be varied.
Never add uncooked thickening-as flour
or meal-to a croquette mixture .i,iiac
seems to you little too soft. A few fine
crumbs may be added if necessary.
The mixture should be kept on the ice
until absolutely cold. 1t should then be
stiff enough to work with, but not too
stiff to become creamy and soft when the
croquette is fried; the interior should
then "melt"--so to speak.
Start with all the materials at hand.
On the table, Immediately before you,
place a small meat board; beyond this
the platter to receive the moulded GRO
quettes, and at the left hand small deep
pie plate holding plenty Of fine, sifted,
dried crumbs; and beside this a similar,
but smaller, shallow dish holding a beat
en- egg, to which half as much again cold
water has been added. If only dozen
or so croquettes are made add less water
to the egg; but it can perfectly we'll be
extended by the larger amount.
With a fork remove croquette shaped
pieces of the cold, stiff mixture, lay them
IN the crumbs, roll them over, remove,
one by one, to the board; roll lightly and
place in the beaten egg, working in
fours. Roll over quickly in the egg, re-
move to dish of crumbs again and finish
up by roll on the board-not forgetting
to stand the croquette lightly on each end
to give it the proper shape. Then Law
them on the platter have discovered
IN making numberless croquettes for a
large family that the process goes much
more quickly and less tediously if this
