APPLE FRITTERS.
Pare some apples, and cut them in thin slices--put them in a bowl, with
a glass of brandy, some white wine, a quarter of a pound of pounded
sugar, a little cinnamon finely powdered, and the rind of a lemon
grated; let them stand some time, turning them over frequently; beat two
eggs very light, add one quarter of a pound of flour, a table-spoonful
of melted butter, and as much cold water as will make a thin batter;
drip the apples on a sieve, mix them with the batter, take one slice
with a spoonful of batter to each fritter, fry them quickly of a light
brown, drain them well, put them in a dish, sprinkling sugar over each,
and glaze them nicely.

BELL FRITTERS.
Put a piece of butter the size of an egg into a pint of water; let it
boil a few minutes--thicken it very smoothly with a pint of flour; let
it remain a short time on the fire, stir it all the time that it may not
stick to the pan, pour it in a wooden bowl, add five or six eggs,
breaking one and beating it in--then another, and so on till they are
all in, and the dough quite light--put a pint of lard in a pan, let it
boil, make the fritters small, and fry them of a fine amber colour.
