Indian Fritters

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoonful flour
• boiling water
• the yolks of 4 eggs
• the whites of 2
• hot lard or clarified dripping
• jam

Instructions

1. Put the flour into a basin, and pour over it sufficient _boiling_ water to make it into a stiff paste, taking care to stir and beat it well, to prevent it getting lumpy.
2. Leave it a little time to cool, and then break into it (_without beating them at first_) the yolks of 4 eggs and the whites of 2, and stir and beat all well together.
3. Have ready some boiling lard or butter; drop a dessertspoonful of batter in at a time, and fry the fritters of a light brown.
4. They should rise so much as to be almost like balls.
5. Serve on a dish, with a spoonful of preserve or marmalade dropped in between each fritter.
6. This is an excellent dish for a hasty addition to dinner, if a guest unexpectedly arrives, it being so easily and quickly made, and it is always a great favourite.
