HAMAN'S FRITTERS.
Take two spoonful of the best Florence oil, scald it, and when hot,
mix with it one pound of flour, add four beaten eggs and make it into
a paste, roll it out thin and cut it into pieces about four inches
square, let them dry and fry them in oil; the moment the pieces are
put in the frying pan, they must be drawn up with two silver skewers
into different forms according to fancy; a few minutes is sufficient
to fry them, they should be crisp when done.

WAFLERS.
Mix a cup and a half of thick yeast with a little warm milk, and set
it with two pounds of flour before the fire to rise, then mix with
them one pound of fresh butter, ten eggs, a grated nutmeg, a quarter
of a pint of orange flower-water, a little powdered cinnamon, and
three pints of warm milk; when the batter is perfectly smooth, butter
the irons, fill them with it, close them down tightly, and put them
between the bars of a bright clear fire; when sufficiently done, they
will slip easily out of the irons.
Wafler irons are required and can be obtained at any good ironmongers
of the Hebrew persuasion.

a deep dish, let the pieces be placed closely, and when the dish is
full, pour over one ounce of fresh butter melted in a tea-cup full of
clarified sugar, flavoured with essence of lemon, and bake in an oven
not too brisk.
