Cones.—Mince finely 1½lb. of veal or any white meat, with a good slice of ham, and pound it in the mortar with 2oz. of fresh butter; now mix in four or five good tablespoonful of cream (or new milk), or stock, white pepper, salt, and a little grated lemon rind to taste. Shape this mixture into neat cones about 3in. high, brush them over with beaten egg, and strew them with breadcrumbs; fry them in plenty of hot fat to a delicate golden brown, drain, and serve very hot, either dry with a garnish of baked crumbs, or with any nice gravy or sauce to taste. These are called veal, chicken, beef, or game cones according to the meat used.
