of soda dissolved in vinegar; milk to make a thin batter.

CREAM FRITTERS.
One cup of cream, five eggs--the whites only, two full cups prepared
flour, one saltspoonful of nutmeg, a pinch of salt. Stir the whites
into the cream in turn with the flour, put in nutmeg and salt, beat
all up hard for two minutes. The batter should be rather thick. Fry in
plenty of hot, sweet lard, a spoonful of batter for each fritter.
Drain, and serve upon a hot, clean napkin. Eat with jelly sauce. Pull,
not cut, them open. Very nice.

flour, two cups of milk, one-half pound currants, washed and well

tablespoonful butter, one-half teaspoonful mixed cinnamon and nutmeg.
Boil the milk and pour over the bread. Mix and put in the butter. Let
it get cold. Beat in next the yolks and sugar, the seasoning, flour
and stiff whites; finally, the currants dredged whitely with flour.
The batter should be thick. Drop in great spoonfuls into the hot lard
and fry. Drain them and send hot to table. Eat with a mixture of wine
and powdered sugar.
