From MRS. ISABELLA BEECHER HOOKER, of Connecticut, Lady Manager.
Mince cold roast or boiled veal; add one-fourth as much of minced oysters scalded in their own liquor. Season with a dusting of red pepper, salt, a flavor of onion (two fine cut rounds of onion is sufficient), a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Stir this into a half pint of drawn butter made thick with flour; mould the croquettes; roll them in egg, then in cracker crumbs, salted and peppered; put them where they will be cold; when chilled put them in a frying basket into hot fat; two minutes will brown them.
VEAL CROQUETTES.
From MISS KATHARINE L. MIKOR, of Louisiana, Fourth Vice President
Board of Lady Managers.
Two pounds of veal, boiled until done; remove skin and hone and chop very fine; crumb a half loaf of bread and mix with the veal broth; add three eggs, two tablespoons of butter, salt, pepper, parsley, etc. Then form into egg-shaped balls and fry brown in boiling lard. It is necessary to dust the balls with cracker-dust or flour.
VEAL POT PIE
From MISS SUSAN W. BALL, of Indiana, Alternate Lady Manager.
Take two pounds of veal—a rib piece is good; cut it in small pieces; put it into a pot, having placed a small plate in the bottom to keep the meat from burning. Put in two quarts of water, either hot or cold. Keep it boiling for about an hour and a half. Then make a quart of flour into biscuit dough; drop in small lumps; cover closely. Twenty or twenty—five minutes will generally cook them. Be sure that there is water sufficient to cover the meat entirely when the dumplings are put in.
