the best in serving rhubarb. Try, for instance, rhubarb fritters. Wash the sticks and then cut them into lengths. Got ready a pan of smoking hot fat. Dip the pieces of rhubarb into batter, and then fry on both sides till attractively brown. Drain, sprinkle with
sugar, and serve immediately.
Here is another rhubarb and batter dish, which the children will like either hot or cold. First make a balter with 6 ozs of flour, an egg, and 1⁄2 pint of fresh milk. Then sprinkle 2 ozs of grated suet over the bottom of a greased pic- dish..
Wash the rhubarb and cut into pieces about an inch long. Place these in the dish and pour the batter in. Bake slowly, sprinkle with sugar to liking, and then pour custard round.
Here is another rhubarb dish the children are very fond of. Prepare about 1 lb of rhubarb cutting into ploces, and simmer with a pint of water and sugar to liking. Molt 1 oz of gelatino in a little water, and then strain Into the rhubarb. Next add the juice of an orange. Turn into a mould, leave to set, and serve with cus- tard.
