Strawberry Fritters

One of the garnishes for Eliza Acton’s 1845 receipt (recipe) for A Common Chicken Pie are Strawberry Fritters.  A batter was made with flour, a spoonful of oil, another of wine, a little rasped lemon peel and the whites of eggss.  The strawberries were covered with the batter and dropped into hot lard.  When they were done, sugar was strewn over them.
