Orange Custard Fritters

Mix a quarter of a pound of flour very smoothly with three eggs and a pint of milk. Stir the batter over the fire for ten or fifteen minutes until it is quite smooth, then add a pinch of salt, two ounces of loaf sugar, which have been well rubbed upon the rinds of two large oranges, and the well-beaten yolks of three eggs. Spread the mixture out to cool, cut it into small oval pieces about an inch and a half long, and fry these lightly in hot fat. Drain them on blotting-paper, and serve them piled high on a napkin, with sifted sugar strewn thickly over them. Time, about eight minutes to fry the fritters. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for three or four persons.
