To one pound of lean beef, chopped twice and rid of every bit of fibre and gristle, allow one beaten egg, one teaspoonful of onion-juice, half as much salt, a fourth as much paprica, and a pinch of ground mace. Mix well.

Mould into flat cakes, dredge them with salted flour, set in a cold place for one hour, roll again in flour and saute them in good dripping or butter.

They can be also made of rare roast beef.
