Lobster Fritters

Chop the meat of a lobster and a few skinned prawns, put them in a stewpan with a lump of butter and place on the fire until they are hot. Roll out some good paste, cut it into rounds with a cutter, place them in a flat stewpan with boiling lard, and fry until they are nicely browned; drain, pile some of the lobster mixture on each, arrange them on a hot dish, garnish with parsley and serve.
