4 stick-type rolls*
200 gm flour (1 3/4 cups)

1 fat for deep-frying
1/2 liter wine or cider (2 cups plus 2 tbsp)

From the Allgaeu area.
From grandmother's more thrifty times; rarely encountered today.
Combine the flour, eggs, milk, and salt into a batter. Cut the rolls into 4 slices. Dip the slices into the batter, then fry until golden brown.
Arrange fritters in a bowl, and pour hot, sweetened wine or cider over them. Give them time to soak up the wine before serving.
Serves 4.
