Pear Fritters

Take as many good cooking-pears as are required for the dish, cut them into slices lengthwise, cover with sugar, dip them in batter, plunge them into boiling oil, and fry a delicate brown. Take them out, drain, dust over again with sugar, place them on a napkin over a dish, and serve with sweet or wine sauce.
