1904 Croquettes of Peas

1904 Croquettes of Peas
The Blue Ribbon Cook Book
2 tbs butter
2 tbs flour
1 pint cream
1 egg yolk
2 cans of peas
Salt and pepper
Celery salt
1 tsp onion juice
Melt butter and flour together, then add the cream and seasonings and the well-beaten yelk of egg, and then the peas, which have been put through a puree strainer. Pour out onto a platter to cool, roll into croquettes, and fry.
Did we eat them: Most of them
Would I make this again: Sort of
Notes: This recipe didn't work for me at all. I needed barely any cream and had to add more flour which made them gummy. We liked the taste of the peas though. If I made this again I would use a combination of peas and potatoes and change up the recipe similar to other croquettes that came out well.Show more
