INGREDIENTS

• 1¾ cups cold flaked salmon.
• 1 cup Thick White Sauce*.
• Few grains cayenne.
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
• Salt.
 

DIRECTIONS

Add sauce to salmon, then add seasonings. Spread on a plate to cool. Shape, dip in crumbs, egg, and crumbs again, fry in deep fat, and drain.
 

*WHITE SAUCE

INGREDIENTS
• 2 tablespoons butter.
• 2 tablespoons flour.
• 1 cup scalded milk.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Few grains pepper.

DIRECTIONS
Put butter in saucepan, stir until melted and bubbling; add flour mixed with seasonings, and stir until thoroughly blended.

Pour on gradually the milk, adding about one-third at a time, stirring until well mixed, then beating until smooth and glossy.

If a wire whisk is used, all the milk may be added at once; and although more quickly made if milk is scalded, it is not necessary.

(Use 3 tablespoons flour for a thicker White Sauce; 1½ tablespoons flour for a thinner sauce).
