Rice Croquettes.
2 cups of cold boiled rice; 2 tablespoonfuls of melted butter; 3 beaten eggs; a little flour; 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar; a large pinch of grated lemon-peel, and salt to taste; raw egg and pounded cracker.
Beat eggs and sugar together, and work the butter into the rice. Stir all together; season; make into croquettes; roll in egg and cracker-crumbs, and fry, a few at a time, in sweet lard. Drain, by rolling them on soft white paper, and eat hot.
