Dry ingredients should be sifted, the sugar with them except in Doughnuts. If eggs are not separated, they may be combined with milk after being beaten. Butter should be melted and added last, just before whites of eggs. To saut^ (brown on both sides in shallow fat) the first five mix- tures, use a heavy frying-pan, griddle, or waffle iron. Grease well with salt pork, drippings, or butter. If latter is used, re- move pan to back of stove when adding fresh fat, then reheat. Use only enough fat to keep food from sticking. For the dough- nuts and the fritters use lard, or any lard substitute ; butter is unsuitable. Put fat in a deep kettle, having plenty to cover the food. For full directions for frying see Frying (p. 99) and Croquettes (p. 99) and follow carefully. Buckwheat cakes.
