and stir as it boils and thickens, add the remainder of the hot milk
gradually. The sauce should be very thick. Add the seasoning, and mix
it while hot with the meat or fish. It is improved by adding a beaten
egg just before the sauce is taken from the fire. When cold, shape
into rolls or like a pear, roll lightly in beaten egg, then in bread
crumbs, and fry in deep hot fat. Drain on coarse brown paper. If the
mixture be too soft to handle easily stir in enough fine cracker or
soft bread crumbs to stiffen it, but never flour.
