Remove the crust from one-third of a loaf of milk bread and soak the soft part in cold water for 5 minutes. Put into a clean cloth and force out the water. Cream three tablespoonfuls of butter, or melt some fat, mix the bread and stir it very smooth. Let it cool, and add the yolks of four eggs, salt, a little mace, some finely chopped parsley, and onion, if desired.
