No. 1813 — Funnel-Fried Khvorost
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 1813 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Mix a glass dry flour, two spoonfuls sugar and a little cinnamon with about a glass milk to make a thin batter.
Add four yolks and four whipped whites, stirring gently.
Pour the batter in a fine thread through a small funnel into hot fat, moving in different directions to form a delicate lattice.
Brown on both sides, drain on absorbent paper and serve hot with sugar or fruit syrup.
Historical editorial note: The supply list includes milk or wine, one pound butter and a spoonful vodka; avoid adding spirits directly to hot oil.
