Beef Fritters Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Beef Fritters Recipe, first scrape 1 pound of meat from a piece of cold roast beef, and season it with pepper and salt. Have ready a batter made with 3/4 pound of flour and about 1/2 pint of water. Blend these two well together, and stir in a piece of butter about the size of an egg, which has been melted before the fire. Whisk the whites of 2 eggs, and add them to the batter with the scraped meat. Stir well, and drop only a small quantity at a time into the pan, when the lard or dripping is boiling. Turn, that both sides may be brown. From eight to ten minutes will be sufficient to cook them over a steady fire. Dry, and send to table on a napkin. Sufficient for two persons.
