Fried Asparagus

Wash and scrape the asparagus, cover with boiling water and let it stand five minutes; drain and dry on a soft towel. Sprinkle well with salt and pepper. Beat an egg until very light, add to it a half cup of milk and sufficient flour to make a thin batter, add a half teaspoonful of salt, and beat the batter until smooth. Dip the asparagus one piece at a time into this batter, and drop at once into hot fat, and fry until a golden brown. When done, drain on brown paper and serve hot.
