Salmon and Lima Fritters
1 lb. can salmon 1/3 cup flour 1 cup cooked lima beans 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped green peppt» 1 teaspoon chopped onion 1/4 cup catchup 2 eggs, beaten Remove bones and skin from salmon and separate into fine flakes. . . . Add next 6 ingredients and blend. . . . Add eggs and mix well. . . . Drop by. tablespoons into deep hot Spry (375°F.) and fry about 3 minutes, or until brown. . . . Serve
with lemon wedges. . .. Makes 6 servings.
At end of frying, pour cooled Spry through a Filt-r-Fat strainer
and it will be fine for further fryings.
The Filt-r-Fat referred to in the recipe is a unique kitchen utensil designed to filter shortening that has been used for frying. The filter paper is exclusive with Filt-r-Fat and it is the only paper of its kind. It deodorizes, restores taste and color, and removes all impurities from used shortening as it strains. The Filt-r-Fat has a fair trade retail price of $1.49 but it is being offered with a new Spry frying booklet “Frying Made Easy” for only fifty cents and a Spry label. The Filt-r-Fat was thoroughly tested and approved in
the Lever Test Kitchens.
