Apple Fritters
| 1-1/2 cupfuls flour | 1 tablespoonful melted Crisco |
| 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder | 3/4 cupful milk |
| 1/4 teaspoonful salt | 3 apples cut in quarter inch slices |
| 1 egg | 3 tablespoonfuls sugar |
| 1 lemon | |
Peel, core and slice apples, then sprinkle 2 tablespoonfuls sugar and strained juice of the lemon over them. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into bowl, add milk to well beaten egg and stir liquid gradually into dry materials, beating thoroughly, then add Crisco. Cover apple slices with batter and drop them into plenty of Crisco heated so that small breadcrumb browns in sixty seconds. Fry for four or five minutes. Drain and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Any other fruit may be substituted for apples or a combination of fruits makes a delicious fritter.
