Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:



1 c (scant) flour
3 tb Cold water
1 Egg, beaten
A few tablespoons white wine
-(or hard cider)
1 Egg white
1 tb Melted butter that has been
-allowed to cool
1 pn Salt
1 pn (small) sugar

This recipe is taken almost verbatim from a cookbook originally
published in 1709; the language has been slightly modernized, but
only 2 ingredients have been added (sugar and salt).

plenty of nice fresh sage leaves oil or shortening for deep frying

Take the flour and mix with the cold water into a thick batter that
must be smooth. Then mix in the beaten egg and stir well; pour in a
little sour wine, yet not too much. Beat the egg white into soft
peaks and fold into the batter. Finally, add the butter as well as a
very little salt and sugar and stir the batter once more. Wash and
dry off the sage leaves, dredge them in the batter, and fry them on
both sides in hot lard (see Note) until crispy.

Note: I [=Horst Scharfenberg] would suggest that you fold in the egg
white last of all and let the batter sit for about 30 minutes
beforehand. Also, vegetable oil or shortening is recommended for deep
frying rather than lard.

Makes 8 servings.
