Place some croquette preparation (No. 997) in a bag, and squeeze it upon a buttered baking-sheet, forming it into any shape required, and with a light hair brush cover the surface with a beaten egg. Brown lightly in the oven for eight minutes, and serve for various garnishings.

Balls can also be formed about the size of an egg ; spread a little flour on the table ; place the balls on top, and flatten them, shaping them nicely ; cover the surface with a beaten egg ; brown lightly in the oven on a buttered baking-sheet for eight minutes, and serve.
