Tender, cold cooked meat of any kind may be trimmed into pieces of uniform shape and size, dipped in Villeroi sauce, and when cold egg-and-bread-crumbed and fried in deep fat. Fritter batter may take the place of the sauce and egg-and-bread-crumbing. "Cooked fine herbs," or a croquette mixture, is often spread upon one side after shaping. Cold roast turkey and chicken are excellent prepared by this recipe.
The yolks of 2 eggs. 1/4 teaspoonful of salt. 1/2 cup of milk. 2 teaspoonfuls of olive oil. 1 cup of flour. The whites of 2 eggs.
Beat the yolks, add the milk gradually and stir little by little into the flour and salt sifted together; add the oil and set aside several hours. When ready to use add the whites of the eggs beaten stiff.
1 cup of flour. 1 egg, or two yolks. 1/2 teaspoonful of salt. 1/2 cup of milk.
Prepare as above, except beat the egg without separating. If the cases lack in crispness and are thick and soft, more milk is needed; when right the case is very thin, delicate, and crisp. For notes on fritter batter, see fritters under desserts.
