Vanity cakes

Yield: 1 Servings

Measure Ingredient
2 pounds Lard
1 large Egg
1 pinch Salt
½ cup Flour
\N \N Powdered sugar

Use large fryer to produce depth of 3", heat lard to 350. In bowl beat egg & salt for a full minute. Beat in ¼ cup flour, a Tbls. at a time, until batter is too stiff for beating but too soft to roll out. Cover a dinner plate with flour. With a teaspoon, spoon batter onto plate in 6 separate portions. with knife turn each over to flour, then drop into hot fat. Aim for limp but compact dough mass that will not string out when it leaves the knife. Cook each cake for at least 3½ minutes, during which time it may need help in turning. If it darkens too quickly, fat is too hot. Drain cakes on paper & dust with sugar. Submitted By THESERVS@... (THOMAS E.
