Bell Fritters

Ingredients

• 1 piece butter
• 1 pint water
• 1 pint flour
• 5-6 eggs
• 1 pint lard

Instructions

1. Put a piece of butter the size of an egg into a pint of water and let it boil a few minutes. Thicken it very smoothly with a pint of flour. Let it remain a short time on the fire, stirring constantly so it does not stick to the pan.
2. Pour the mixture into a wooden bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, breaking and beating each one in thoroughly before adding the next, until all are incorporated and the dough is quite light.
3. Put a pint of lard in a pan and let it boil. Make the fritters small and fry them until they are a fine amber colour.
