INSTRUCTIONS
Place the cranberries on paper toweling and dry well. Sift together the dry
ingredients and mix in the milk, a little at a time, to make a stiff dough.
Flour your hands well, pinch off a small piece of dough (about 1 teaspoon),
place a cranberry in the center, and roll into a ball with the cranberry
inside. The balls should be about the size of large marbles. Place the
shortening or oil in a deep, heavy kettle, and heat till it registers 375F
on a deep-fat-frying thermometer. Drop the fritters into the hot fat and
fry, turning, until deep golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper
toweling. This really works best as a two-person operation, with one
shaping the fritters and the other frying them.
