Pumpkin Fritters

Trim off both the ends of some long, but not too large oval pumpkins, cut them into long square fingers, place them in a dish, sprinkle salt over them and leave them for ten minutes; shake the dish once or twice during the time. Drain the pieces, wipe them on a cloth and rub them over quickly with flour. Put some dripping in a fryingpan, and when hot put in the pieces and fry them. When cooked, drain and dust over with salt. Serve them in a hot dish.
