When these ingredients have been well worked together, and are perfectly blended, set the mixture in a cool place for two or three hours before it is used; make it into the form of small sausages or sausage cakes, flour them and fry in butter, of a fine light brown; or throw them in boiling water for three minutes, drain, and let them become cold; dip the into eggs bread crumbs and broil them gently until the are lightly colored. A small bit should be cooked and tasted before the whole is put aside, that the seasoning may be heightened if required,. The sausages thus made are very good.
