Apple Fritters Recipe

1/2 pound cornflour
1/4 pound butter
1/4 pound white sugar
1 or 2 eggs
1/2 ounce ginger powder.
Work all the ingredients together on a marble slab, to get the paste all
of the same consistency. Make it into balls as big as walnuts, flattening
them slightly before putting them into the oven. This sort of gingerbread
keeps very well.
