Mi-Careme Fritters

(Rome.) These are eaten in Lent all over Rome; they are peddled along the street. Boil 3 cups of milk, add sugar to taste, 1 ounce of butter, and the yolks of 4 eggs, and enough corn meal--called semolina in Italy--to make a firm paste, a tablespoonful of brandy, or cordial to flavor. Make into rings, dip in flour, fry in lard, and dust with sugar. Always eaten with gooseberry jam, in Italy for supper.
