CHEESE CROQUETTES
Grate half a pound of American cheese. Mix in it a scant tablespoonful of butter, a tablespoonful of milk, an egg beaten enough to break it, half a teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of paprika. Mix to a smooth paste and mold into small croquettes, using a tablespoonful of the paste for each croquette. The above proportions will make eight croquettes.
Add a little milk to the yolk of an egg and roll the croquettes in this and then in cracker dust. Then fry them for a minute in smoking-hot fat. They should have a delicate brown color and be soft inside. Serve them as soon as they are fried or the cheese will harden.
This is a delicious cheese dish and very easily made.
