Jam Fritters

Take 4oz. of flour, 1 tablespoonful brown sugar, 1 gill of milk, 1 dessertspoonful baking powder and jam. Put the flour, baking powder, and sugar into a basin and mix together. Make a hole in the centre of the flour and pour in enough cold milk to make a creamy batter. Beat well. Melt a little dripping in a frying pan, and pour in sufficient batter to cover the bottom of the pan (thinly). When one side of the batter is slightly browned, turn it over and cook the other side. Put a spoonful of jam in the centre of the batter and roll it over. Repeat the process till all the batter is used. These fritters must be served very hot and immediately they are made.
