No. 31 Bell Fritters
Sift 1 pint of flour, pour boiling-hot water on it until it cooks enough to have the consistency of a stiff batter. Let it get perfectly cold. Take 5 eggs, 1 tablespoonful of butter, and put in it and beat all up till it is as light as muffins. Grate in a little nutmeg. Boil them in hot lard. Make wine sauce to serve with them.
