Delicious Apple Fritters

Pare and core good tart apples, not too mellow. Cut in round slices about half an inch thick. Dip each slice in sugar and ground cinnamon, mixed. Then take on the end of the forefinger and whirl around in the following batter till thickly covered with it. Then drop in hot drippings and fry a light brown. To one pint of milk add three lightly beaten eggs, a pinch of soda and a pinch of salt, and flour enough to make a batter about as stiff as ordinary light-cakes. Dust powdered sugar over the fritters before serving. Chopped apples stirred into this batter and fried by spoonfuls make a nice fritter, but not as handsome a dish as the first way of making them.
