Parsnip Fritters Recipe 2

Ingredients for Parsnip Fritters

• (Left over parsnips)
• 1 cup of parsnip puree
• 1 egg, beaten light
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• Salt pork or bacon fat
• ¼ teaspoon of pepper

Instructions

1. Press the cooked parsnips through a gravy strainer, set into part of a double boiler (into which it fits).
2. Use a wooden pestle; to the puree add the salt, pepper and egg (often the white may be omitted, the yolk being sufficient to hold the pulp together) and mix thoroughly; shape into small flat cakes.
3. Have ready a frying pan containing a little hot fat; cook the cakes until brown on one side, then turn to brown the other side.
