Kidney Fritters

Make a batter with four well-beaten eggs, mixed with half a pint of new milk, and flavoured with a little pepper, salt, and pounded mace. Stir into this a tea-spoonful each of finely-shredded chives, parsley, and mushrooms, and a table-spoonful of the remains of a cold veal kidney finely minced, and mixed with half its weight of fat. Beat together for two or three minutes, then melt an ounce of butter in the frying-pan, pour in the mixture, and stir it until it is set. When it is browned on one side, turn it on a hot dish, hold a salamander or redhot shovel over it for a minute or two to colour it on the other, and serve immediately. Time, five or six minutes. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for three persons.
