RICE CROQUETTES (1904, Blue Grass)

The Blue Grass Cook Book
Compiled by Minnie C. Fox (1904)

RICE CROQUETTES
Mrs. Strauder Goff

• 1 1/2 pints boiled rice,
• 3 eggs,
• Butter size of 1 1/2 eggs,
• 3 tablespoons cream,
• 1/2 teaspoon scraped onion,
• Salt and cayenne pepper to taste,
• A small pinch of mace.

• Reserve 2 whites of the eggs to roll the croquettes in


Mix the ingredients and cook in a double boiler till quite thick. Allow to cool. Form into croquettes and fry in deep fat, after rolling in the whites of the eggs and bread-crumbs.

The seasoning can be varied by omitting the mace and adding a half a teacup of grated cheese or grated ham, or a cup of chopped chicken or brains. They should always be served with tomato sauce.
