Ingredients:
8 or 10 fine pippins or greenings
juice of 1 lemon
3 cups prepared flour
6 eggs
3 cups milk
Some powdered sugar
Cinnamon and nutmeg
A little salt
Preparation:
- Pare and core the apples neatly, leaving a hole in the centre of each. Cut crosswise Into slices half an inch thick. Spread these on a dish and sprinkle with lemon-juice and powdered sugar.
- Beat the eggs light, straining the yolks, and add to the latter the milk and salt, the whites and the flour, by turns. Dip the slices of apple into the batter, turning them until they are thoroughly coated, and fry, a few at a time, in hot lard. Throw upon a warm sieve as fast as you take them out, and sift powdered sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over them.
- These fritters require dexterous handling, but if properly made and cooked, are delicious.
- Eat with white wine butter sauce, white wine lemon sauce or brandy butter (hard sauce).
