Poor Boy Croquettes

List of Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup milk, plus more
Cracker crumbs






Recipe

Beat egg well. Add salt, pepper, egg, nutmeg and 1/2 cup of milk to
meat. Mix well. Keep adding milk until mixture drops easily from
spoon. Drop by heaping tablespoons into cracker crumbs and then into
shallow fat in skillet. Fry at medium heat, turning once, until
nicely browned. Serve with potatoes or noodles. You can make a nice
cream gravy from the drippings in the pan by blending into the fat two
or three tablespoons of flour, then gradually mixing in 1 to 1 1/2
cups milk and stirring until the mixture boils and thickens. Season
to taste.
