Instructions

  1. Pare some apples, and cut them in thin slices.
  2. Put them in a bowl with a glass of brandy, some white wine, a quarter of a pound of pounded sugar, a little cinnamon finely powdered, and the rind of a lemon grated.
  3. Let them stand some time, turning them over frequently.
  4. Beat two eggs very light, add one quarter of a pound of flour, a table-spoonful of melted butter, and as much cold water as will make a thin batter.
  5. Drip the apples on a sieve, and mix them with the batter.
  6. Take one slice with a spoonful of batter to each fritter, and fry them quickly of a light brown.
  7. Drain them well, put them in a dish, sprinkling sugar over each, and glaze them nicely.
