Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- 2 parts crayfish tails
- 1 part truffles
- Béchamel sauce (mother sauce)

Instructions
- Prepare a salpicon (diced filling) composed of two parts crayfish tails and one part truffles. Bind this mixture with a béchamel sauce (mother sauce) that has been reduced, then finish it at the last moment with crayfish butter (beurre d'écrevisse).
- Form the rissoles using puff pastry trimmings in an oval shape. Use two fluted pastry discs (abaisses cannelées), solder them together, and seal and press them with the back of a pastry cutter.
