Fried Celery

Boil two or three sound, well-trimmed heads of celery till they are about half cooked, or a trifle more; remove, drain thoroughly, cut them into short lengths, dip them in batter, and fry in hot fat to a light brown. If it is well done this dish is very tasty; but it is useless to attempt it without a deep fryingpan, and plenty of oil or fat to fry in.
