Instructions
- 1
Take three or four good-sized parsnips.
- 2
Boil them until tender.
- 3
Mash and season with a little butter, a pinch of salt and a slight sprinkling of pepper.
- 4
Have ready a plate with some sifted flour on it.
- 5
Drop a tablespoonful of the parsnip in the flour and roll it about until well coated and formed into a ball.
- 6
When you have a sufficient number ready, drop them into boiling drippings or lard, as you would a fritter; fry a delicate brown and serve hot.
- 7
Do not put them in a covered dish, for that would steam them and deprive them of their crispness, which is one of their great charms.
- 8
These are also very good fried in a frying pan with a small quantity of lard and butter mixed, turning them over so as to fry both sides brown.
