Ingredients:

2 cups water
2 ounces butter
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups flour
6 eggs
Lard or vegetable oil for frying


Preparation:

• Put into a stewpan water, butter and a tablespoon of sugar. When it boils stir into it sifted flour, stirring briskly and thoroughly.

• Remove from the fire, and when nearly cooled beat into it six eggs, each one beaten separately and added one at a time, beating the batter between each.

• Drop the stiff dough into boiling lard by teaspoonfuls.

• Eat with syrup of your choice.

NOTE: Stirring the boiling lard or oil around and around, so that it whirls when you drop in the fritters, causes them to assume a round shape like balls.
