Old Fashioned Rice Croquettes

 

3/4 cup uncooked white rice (I use long grain)

1 1/2 cups boiling water

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups scalding milk

2 tablespoons butter or marg.

2 tablespoons sugar

yolks of 3 eggs

1 egg, beaten

fine cracker or bread crumbs

 

Put rice, water, butter and salt in the top of a double boiler and cook over

boiling water until perfectly dry. With a fork, stir in the hot milk. Cook until

milk is absorbed. Add well beaten egg yolks, then sugar, stirring all through

the rice with a fork. Turn into a shallow pan to cool and chill thoroughly in

the fridge. Form into round balls about one and one half inches in diameter and

make a small depression in each. Chill again. Dip in beaten egg, then in fine

cracker crumbs or fine bread crumbs and fry in a basket in deep hot oil until a

rich brown. Serve at once. Place a generous cube of very tart jelly,currant,

wild grape or wild plum,in the slight depression in each croquette. Serves 6.

I use a Fry Daddy to cook them up.
