As published

This recipe was extracted from Temperance cook book (1887) by Mary G. Smith, page 14. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

CODFISH BALLS. (No. 1.) The first and most important thing to be remembered is, have the ingredients cooked on the day you wish them to be eaten. Put your codfish to soak the night before, then simmer (not boil), until tender. Have the potatoes freshly cooked and hot. When the fish is done, take out all the bones and pull every lump, no matter how small, apart, until it is light and feathery. Mash the potatoes until they are perfectly smooth; add a little cream or milk and the whites of four eggs

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
