French Fritters, Batter For

Dissolve two ounces of butter in half a pint of warm milk; blend with it ten ounces of flour, and work it till it is quite smooth. Whisk the whites of two eggs; add them to the batter just before use, as the lightness will depend on this mainly. Season with salt, etc., if for vegetables; or sweeten with sugar if for frying fruit. Time, ten minutes to fry. Probable cost, 7d. for this quantity.
