Batter for Fritters

Place half pound sifted flour in a large bowl; add two tablespoons olive oil, half teaspoon salt, one tablespoon powdered sugar, three egg yolks, half gill cold water and a gill cold milk; also a teaspoon vanilla essence. Briskly stir with a wooden spoon for five minutes. Just before serving beat the white of the three eggs, add to the batter and gently mix for one minute; then it will be ready for use. (The same quantity of butter can be substituted for oil if preferred.)
