Italian Fritters Recipe ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• grated rind 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons Crisco
• 5 slices stale cake
• ½ teaspoon powdered cinnamon
• sugar and few grains salt

To prepare this Italian Fritters Recipe, first cake should be about a 1/4 of an inch thick, not less. Cut out into oval or round shapes with cutter. Beat egg, mix with milk, lemon rind, salt, and about 1 teaspoon sugar. Lay slices of cake in this custard until they are soft, but not crumbly; time will depend upon how stale cake is. Heat 1/2 Crisco in frying pan, lift few pieces of cake up carefully and lay them in hot Crisco. Brown 1 side, then turn them over and brown other side also. Add some pieces of Crisco as required. Mix cinnamon with 2 teaspoons sugar and sprinkle some of these over each fritter. Serve with hard sauce.
