Salmon Croquettes

Finely chop one pound of salmon ; mix two tablespoonfuls of flour and one
tablespoonful of butter together ; boil one-half pint of cream ; mix the butter, flour
and salmon in with it, and stir all over the fire for a minute. Work in a well-beaten
egg with the above ingredients, remove them from the fire, and leave them until they
are cold. Shape the mixture into croquettes, dip them in beaten egg then in breadcrumbs,
and fry them in boiling fat. When cooked, drain the croquettes, place them
on an ornamental dish paper or a folded napkin spread on a hot dish, garnish with
slices of lemon and serve.
