  • Dry them in a cloth
  • Lightly flour, dip them in egg, and sprinkle over with very fine bread crumbs, and put them into boiling lard
  • Fry of a nice pale brown, and be careful not to take off the light roughness of the crumbs, or their beauty will be spoiled
  • Dry them before the fire on a drainer, and serve with plain melted butter
