2 Eggs, beaten
1/2 c Milk
2 ts Spicy brown mustard
2 ts Salt

Combine first 11 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls. (At this point, balls may be frozen: when ready to use, partially thaw and fry as directed below.)

Fry croquettes in 2-inch deep hot oil (370) until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with cocktail sauce. Yield: 5-1/2 dozen.
