(From "Land of Sunshine.")

1 1/2 lbs. of flour,

1 1/2 pts. of milk,

1 egg,

A pinch of sugar and salt,

3 teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together and sift. Beat the egg and mix it with the milk; beat again, then add to the other ngredients and stir thoroughly. Batter should be as thick as rather thick pancake batter. Have some lard hot as for frying doughnuts; dip the mould carefully into the batter, just enough to cover the bottom, then shake it gently in the lard until the fritters float away on the lard. When it is cooked to a golden brown take it out with a fork. Continue to dip the mould first in the batter then in the lard, until all the batter is used up. Then either dip the cakes in a simple syrup of sugar and water, or powder with sugar. Any fancy mould can be used, or two spoons with the bowls facing each. Linda Bell Colson.
