Parsnip Fritters Recipe 2

Press the cooked parsnips through a gravy strainer, set into part of a double boiler (into which it fits).

Use a wooden pestle; to the pure e 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.

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.
