Rice Croquettes à la Princesse.
2 cups boiled rice; 2 eggs; ½ cup of milk; pepper and salt; a boiled sweetbread, minced fine, or boiled fowl-giblets, or any cold meat minced, and worked to a paste with the pounded yolks of two boiled eggs, and well seasoned with butter, salt, cayenne and a pinch of lemon; lard for frying.
Mix beaten eggs and milk with salt into the hot rice, and stir in a saucepan until stiff. Let it get cold; make into thin round cakes; enclose a spoonful of the meat-paste in the centre of each, and roll the rice-ball round. Dip in beaten egg, then in cracker-dust, and fry carefully in plenty of hot lard. Drain and serve hot.
