1 quart cooked mush.
1 pound cracker meal.
2 eggs.
1/2 pound fat to fry.
Mix 3 tablespoonfuls milk or water with the eggs and beat up. Roll the pieces of mush in it and then in the cracker meal and fry a handsome brown in hot lard in a sauce pan deep enough to immerse them.
Cost of material - Neither the cracker meal nor the lard will be all used but an allowance should be made for waste or deterioration of what is left over. Mush 3, eggs 4, cracker-meal 8, lard 8; 23c for 8 to 12 orders - say 2 1/2c each person.
