Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Peel three large apples, core them with a column cutter, and cut them across in slices rather less than half an inch thick ;
  2. put them in a flat dish with half a tumbler of brandy, and strew plenty of powdered loaf sugar over them ;
  3. lei them remain covered for a couple of hours, then take each piece separately, dip it in batter so that it is well covered with it, and fry a golden colour in plenty of hot lard.
  4. Lay the fritters in front of the fire, and when all are done pile them up on a napkin, shake plenty of powdered loaf sugar over them, and serve.
