Half a pint of sweet milk, a scant half pint of flour, two rounded
teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a small pinch of salt, stir all
together; this should make a batter as thick as that of cake. Roll the
pieces of fruit in it with a fork, and drop quickly into boiling fat.
The batter should be prepared just as it is wanted and not allowed to
stand. Cut three medium-sized bananas into three pieces each and divide
each slice lengthwise so that the fruit will be thin enough to cook
thoroughly while the batter is browning. This recipe will make eighteen
small fritters. Put them on a hot platter--do not pile up--and serve
immediately with a fruit sauce.
