Put two ounces of butter in a saucepan over the fire with two
tablespoonfuls of milk. When this comes to a boil stir in four ounces of
flour; then add a cup of milk, let it cook, stirring all the time until
it no longer adheres to the pan, remove from the fire, let it cool and
then beat in three eggs, one at a time, two heaping tablespoonfuls of
grated Parmesan cheese, a saltspoonful of mace and a dash of salt. Set
it away to get cold, make it into small balls. Have a large saucepan of
boiling, salted water on the stove, drop the balls into it and let them
boil five minutes, take them out with a skimmer and drain well. Have
ready a cream sauce, put the balls in this, and when they are hot turn
into a baking dish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake until brown
in a quick oven.
