• 2 cups bean puree
• 1-½ tablespoons vegetable butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 egg
• Scant 1/3 cup hot milk
• A sprinkle of sage
• Salt to taste

To prepare this Bean Patties Recipe, first cook the beans the same as in the preceding , and mash through a colander, having the pulp as dry as possible. In case it is too soft, it may be put into the oven for a few minutes. Make a paste as follows, for holding the food together: Put the butter, the onion, and the savory into a small saucepan, and let simmer for a few moments, but do not brown. Add the flour and mix; then the milk, and stir smooth. Add the egg, slightly broken up, and stir over the fire until smooth and a very thick paste. Salt to taste, and add the bean puree. Mix well, and let cool; then roll out into small, round cakes about 3/4 inch thick, mark on the top with a knife, lay in an oiled baking pan, brush over with cream or milk and brown lightly in a hot oven.
