Well b.u.t.ter six (or eight) little tin moulds, fill them with the mixture, stand the moulds in a baking tin which contains a little boiling water, and bake in a moderate oven for twelve or fifteen minutes.

Rub well-cooked haricots through a wire sieve until the requisite quant.i.ty of pulp is obtained, add the bread crumbs, potato, salt and shalot, which must be very finely minced, stir in half a beaten egg, shape into little b.a.l.l.s the size of marbles, roll them in the other half of egg and the bread crumbs, and fry in boiling fat until a golden brown.

Place the beans in a stewpan with the water and b.u.t.ter, and boil for two hours; then add milk, salt and pepper, and stew for half an hour longer.

Mince the shalot and fry for one minute, but without browning. Strain the haricot beans and chop them very fine, add the shalot and yolk of egg and liquor that was strained off, and put the mixture aside for a little while.

Shape the mixture (to which may be added a few bread crumbs if not sufficiently firm) into little sausages, dip them into the batter, lift out with a spoon and drop into boiling oil. When they have turned a golden brown lift them out on to soft paper to drain.

The batter is made as follows:--

4 ounces flour.

1 gill of milk.

1 ounce b.u.t.ter.

A pinch of salt.

Place the flour and salt in a basin, in another basin beat up the egg, add the milk, then pour on to the flour, stirring well all the time, and lastly add the b.u.t.ter, which should have been previously dissolved.
