Plain Fritters
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 3 oz flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 pint milk
- STAR FRITTER-MOULD.]
Instructions
- 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.
