PAINS PERDUS

(Lost bread)

Make a mixture of milk and raw eggs, enough to soak up in six rusks.
Flavor it with a little mace or cinnamon. Put some butter in a pan and
put the rusks in it to fry. Let them color a good brown, and serve them
hot with sugar dusted over them.

FRUIT FRITTERS

Peel some apples, take out the core and cut them in slices, powder them
on each side with sugar. You can use also pears, melons, or bananas. Make
a batter with flour, milk and eggs, beating well the whites; a glass of
rum and sugar to sweeten it. Put your lard on to heat, and when the blue
steam rises roll your fruit slices in the batter and throw them into the
lard. When they are golden, serve them with powdered sugar.
