French Roll Fritters
Origin: London, England
Source: Anonymous, 1846
Ingredients
- 1 Long round French roll
- Milk
- Several Eggs
- Fine salad oil
- Clarified sugar
- Cinnamon
- Orange flower water
Instructions
- Remove the crust from a long round French roll and cut the crumb into thin slices. Soak the bread slices in boiling milk, taking care they do not break.
- Beat several eggs in a dish. Using a fish slice, carefully remove the soaked bread from the milk, letting the excess milk drain off. Dip each piece into the beaten egg, then half-fry them in fine salad oil until they are partly cooked.
- Soak the partially fried pieces again in the milk and dip them once more in the egg. Return them to the oil and fry until they reach a handsome light brown color.
- While the fritters are still hot, pour over them a clarified sugar that has been flavored with cinnamon and orange flower water.
