Egg Croquettes

 

Boil the eggs, peel and chop them. Put as little butter, a little onion and 

chopped parsley in a pan and fry them without burning. After, mix a little

flour and before it turns color put in some salt and pepper. Allow it to boil 

so that there is a specific sauce. Mix in the eggs that you have chopped

and let them fry and form croquettes that are passed through beaten raw 

eggs along with the yolk and the white. After cover them with bread powder

 and fry them, adorn them for serving with tender lettuce leaves.

 

Transcription notes: It has been a couple of years since I transcribed and translated a recipe or had time to even think about completing one. For this reason, I had particular trouble completing this first one. The original handwriting of the text is difficult to read and there was a particular smudge on the word "especita" or "special" made it hard for me to figure out, for example. I had to put it away and come back the next day for several days. My persistence finally paid off and I got it.
