Directions

1

1473. INGREDIENTS.--3 oz. of flour, 3 eggs, 1/3 pint of milk.

2

_Mode_.--Mix the flour to a smooth batter with a small quantity of the milk; stir in the eggs, which should be well whisked, and then the remainder of the milk; boat the whole to a perfectly smooth batter, and should it be found not quite thin enough, add two or three tablespoonfuls more milk. Have ready a frying-pan, with plenty of boiling lard in it; drop in rather more than a tablespoonful at a time of the batter, and fry the fritters a nice brown, turning them when sufficiently cooked on one side. Drain them well from the greasy moisture by placing them upon a piece of blotting-paper before the fire; dish them on a white d'oyley, sprinkle over them sifted sugar, and send to table with them a cut lemon and plenty of pounded sugar.

3

_Time_.--From 6 to 8 minutes.

4

_Average cost_, 4d.

5

_Sufficient_ for 3 or 4 persons.

6

_Seasonable_ at any time.
