EGG BALLS
These are used for soup and for garnishing of vegetable dishes.
Hard-boil four eggs, throw them at once into cold water, remove the
shells. Put the yolks through a sieve, then add a half teaspoonful of
salt, a dash of white pepper and the yolk of one raw egg, or you may
take a part of the white of one egg. Mix thoroughly and make into
balls the size of a marble, using enough flour to prevent sticking to
the hands. Drop these into a kettle of boiling stock, or into hot fat.
Drain on brown paper.
DEVILED EGG SALAD
6 eggs
1 head of lettuce
1 pimiento
1 teaspoonful of onion juice
1/2 teaspoonful of paprika
1/2 cupful of chopped boiled tongue
1 saltspoonful of salt
1 saltspoonful of pepper
Hard-boil the eggs, throw them into cold water, remove the shells, cut
them lengthwise. Take out the yolks without breaking the whites. Rub
the yolks through a sieve into a bowl, then add the tongue and all the
seasoning. If the mixture is dry add a tablespoonful or two of cream
or olive oil. Roll the mixture into balls that will fit the spaces
from which they were taken in the whites, making each ball round.
Arrange the lettuce over a platter, stand the whites in the lettuce,
and at serving time baste thoroughly with French dressing.
