Batter Fritters.— Make a batter according to recipe given for batter pudding. When ready, peel, core, and mince some apples, or if pre- ferred, a few currants may be picked and thrown into the batter. The addition of a little suet to the apples is an impi-ovement, but it must be very judiciously used, as too much will make the fritters greasy. They should be made small. A large table-spoonful of batter is suffi- cient. Fry in boiling dripping, and serve with powdered sugar over them. Probable cost, 9d. Time to frv, eight to ten minutes. Sufficient for six persons. Batter, Italian, Fried.— Mix and boat up two eggs with haH a pint of French wine or cider and a little orange-flower water. Add this, with two table-spoonfuls of the best Lucca oil, to three-quarters of a pound of flour and a tea- spoonful of salt. Blend the batter with a spoon until it is like a smooth cream. It shoidd be made an hour or two before wanted, and the frothed whites of two or three eggs should be lightly added to it at the time of use. Batter Pudding, Baked, — Separate the yolks from the whites of four eggs, beat them well separately, and throw them in a basin together ; then mix them very gradually with six or eight oimces of flour, and a pinch or two of salt. Make the batter of the proper con- sistency by adding little more than a pint of good milk. Bake in a buttered dish for three-qu;iitci-s of an hour in a quick oven. This pudding is much improved by careful mixing. If the eggs, flour, and milk are not well blended together the pudding is often a failure. Pro- bable cost, 7d. or 8d. Sufiieient for foui' or five persons. Batter Pudding, Baked, and Apples. — Put one pound of apples
