Beef Croquettes

BEEF CROQUETTES

1 lb. beef, boiled well (minced)
1 tablespoon parsley (powdered cold or minced)
1 cup (coffee cup size)
Dash Cayenne pepper
2 slices onion

Let 1 pint milk, or cream, come to boiling point, then
add a tablespoon of cold butter, then the above mixture.

Beat up two eggs and mix with large tablespoon of starch
(or flour) and add to the rest. Cook it all, stirring with care
until proper consistency. Remove from fire, spread on platter
to cool: then make into croquettes — roll in bread crumbs and
try in wire basket — in hot fat.
