Apple or Peach Fritter Recipe ingredients

• Fill a bread tin half full of sliced apples or peaches. Sprinkle over them one-half cup sugar and a few grains salt. Put them into the oven to cook. While they are cooking, prepare the following batter:
• ½ cup cream (milk will do, but will not make the crust so tender)
• 1 egg
• ½ cup sifted bread flour
• A few grains salt

To prepare this Apple or Peach Fritter Recipe, first separate the white from the yolk of the egg. Beat together the cream, salt, egg yolk, and flour, till the batter is smooth, then fold in the stiffly beaten white of the egg. Dip in this batter very thin slices of bread from which the crust has been cut, and lay these slices on top of the hot apples, which should be cooked tender by the time the batter is prepared. Cut and fit the slices so as completely to cover the peaches. If there is any batter left, it may be poured over the slices of bread. Put on the bottom of the oven to bake till the top is nicely browned. Cut into squares, and serve plain or with cream.
