Patties, Fried Bread

Ingredients

• 3 or 4 slices stale sandwich loaf, 1.5 inches thick
• plenty of boiling fat or dripping

Directions

1. Cut the bread slices into rounds, 1.75 inches in diameter.

2. Make a deep incision at one end, 0.25 inches from the edge, to mark the lid.

3. Fry the bread in boiling fat until lightly browned all over, about 12 minutes.

4. Drain the bread from the fat, remove the top, and scoop out the crumb.

5. Fill the hollow with prepared meat and serve on a neatly-folded napkin.
