Fried Eggs

Use strained ham or bacon fat, or olive oil, as a frying medium, never butter or lard. When fat or oil is well heated in the frying-pan break in the eggs separately, putting in only one or two at a time, so that each may be kept separate. With a spoon baste each with the fat. Half a minute should be sufficient to allow for cooking.
