Oatmeal Fritters Buttered Toast
Wash 1/2 pound dried apricots well, then cover with hot water and soak over night, or if more convenient, several hours during the day, so that they may be cooked the same day. Cook very slowly in the same water in which they were soaked, until tender throughout, and yet have retained their shape. If necessary, add sugar.
Put leftover oatmeal into a small mold and stand away to harden. When ready to use turn it out, cut in slices 1/2 inch thick and then into strips 1 inch wide; dip in egg, roll in bread crumbs and fry. Drain on brown paper, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
For Buttered Toast see Lesson 1.
