INGREDIENTS: 1 stalk celery boiling water salt 2 eggs, separated 1/2 C. light cream 1 C. flour 1 tsp. baking powder fat or oil for deep-frying DIRECTIONS: Break the celery into ribs and cut into 3" to 4" lengths. Place in a large skillet and add boiling water barely to cover. Add salt to taste. Cover and simmer for only 3 to 5 minutes, or until celery is barely tender. Drain well and pat dry. Combine the egg yolks and cream. Sift together the flour, 1/4 tsp. salt and the baking powder and add egg yolk mixture to make a batter. Beat the egg white until stiff, but not dry, and fold into batter. Dip the celery pieces into the batter and fry, a few at a time, in the fat or oil heated to 365°. Drain on paper towels and serve at once. Serves 8. Note: Sticks of barely tender, cooked parsnip can be dipped into the batter and deep-fried in a similar fashion to make parsnip fritters.
