One and one-third cups of flour, two and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of salt, one-third of a cup of sugar, one-half cup of milk, one egg, one teaspoonful of melted butter.

Beat egg until light; add milk, dry ingredients mixed and sifted, and melted butter. Drop by spoonfuls in hot, new, deep fat; fry until light brown and cooked through, which must at first be determined by piercing with a skewer, or breaking apart. Remove with a skimmer, and drain on brown paper.
