Apple Fritters.

Pare some nice apples.

Cut them into slices about a quarter of an inch thick, and stamp out the core with a round cutter.

Lay the rings in the batter, and cover them well with it.

Lift them out with a skewer, and drop them into hot fat (see [French Frying]).

When lightly browned on one side, turn them on to the other.

Drain them on kitchen paper.

Dish on a folded napkin, with castor sugar dusted over them.
