The New Royal Cook Book

Royal Baking Powder's 1922 campaign against yeast, in the form of a cookbook: bread mixed and baked in an hour and a half.

Fritters

FRITTERS are served for luncheon, dinner or supper, as an entree, a vegetable or a sweet, according to the ingredients used. The foundation batter is much the same for all fritters, and, with some additions, the first recipe given can be used for many varieties. By the use of Royal Baking Powder, a fine fritter batter may be stirred up in a few minutes.

Fritters should be fried in deep fat, hot enough to brown a piece of bread in 60 seconds. Drain on unglazed paper. Sprinkle fruit fritters with powdered sugar.
