       2 lb Lard
       1 lg Egg
       1 pn Salt
     1/2 c  Flour

   Use large fryer to produce depth of 3", heat lard to 350. In bowl
   beat egg & salt for a full minute. Beat in 1/4 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 3 1/2 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.
