Cold fowl, veal, or veal kidney, are the best ingredients for this excellent dish; whichever you select must be chopped very fine, with an equal quantity of the lean of ham; add one shalot, a little parsley, and pepper and salt.
Mix the yolk of three eggs, and two tea-spoonfuls of flour, in a teacupful of milk. Beat up the whites of egg separately, see that the frying-pan be quite hot, and the lard boiling, before you put in the meat and yolks, well mixed together; as soon as you begin to fry, add the whites, and mix them well with the other ingredients. Ten minutes over a slow fire will be sufficient.
Brown with a salamander before you send it to table.
