Salsify or Oyster-Plant, No. 3
195. Wash the roots and scrape them clean; grate them and add a little pepper and salt; beat two eggs, add a pint of milk, and stir in enough flour to make a thick batter, also salt to the taste. Mix the salsify with the batter, and have ready a pan with some hot lard, dip out a spoonful of the batter and drop in the pan, then another close by the first, and so on. Turn the fritters, and when they are of a light brown on both sides they are done.
They resemble oyster fritters.
