Allow the veal sweetbreads to cool for a few minutes, possibly putting them under a stream of running water to speed up the time.
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the cuticles, then cut them into pieces.
Fry the finely chopped onion in a pan together with the ham cut into strips.
As soon as the mince is lightly browned, add the pieces of sweetbreads and season with salt and pepper, then add a few tablespoons of broth and cook slowly.
When the sweetbreads are cooked al dente, transfer them to a heated prepared serving dish.
Combine and mix the butter well with the cooking residue left in the pan, also adding a teaspoon of potato starch.
Stir the sauce thoroughly until it thickens, pour it hot on the pieces of sweetbreads and serve immediately on the table.
