Ham Fritters

Take the bone of a ham from which no more slices can be cut, and pick off every part of the lean meat, and the same quantity of fat. Mince it finely, and with one pound of mince mix two eggs, a cupful of finely-grated bread-crumbs, and half a tea-spoonful of white pepper. Make a thin custard with two eggs and a quarter of a pint of milk. Cut a roll of bread into neat little rounds, and put them into the custard to soak. Take them up with a slicer, and put them into a frying-pan, with some hot butter. When they are lightly browned, take them out, spread the mixture thickly over them, strew some grated crumbs over the top, and fry them three or four minutes in butter. Probable cost, 8d. for this quantity, exclusive of the meat. Sufficient for three or four persons.
