_*Salsify Fritters_--3 heads salsify, lemon juice, salt, 2 tablespoons
milk, 1 tablespoon melted Crisco, fried parsley, 4 tablespoons flour,
and 2 eggs. Wash, scrape, and soak the salsify in cold water seasoned
with salt and lemon juice to taste. Boil in salted, acidulated water
until tender. Take it up when done, drain, and cut the salsify into
pieces all the same size. Sieve the flour into a basin, work in the
yolks of the eggs, the milk, and the melted Crisco. Beat to a smooth
batter, season with salt and pepper to taste. When ready to fry, beat
up the whites of eggs very stiffly and stir them lightly into batter.
Drop the salsify into the batter, then into hot Crisco and fry to a
golden brown color. Take up, drain, and serve garnished with fried
parsley.
