    2 quarts water
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 tablespoons CRISCO shortening, melted
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon chervil
    1/2 teaspoon tarragon
    2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon CRISCO shortening, melted
    3/4 cup apple cider
    3/4 cup buttermilk
    1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
    CRISCO shortening for deep frying
    2 egg whites

    Recipe




    Cut parsnips crosswise, then in half lengthwise.

    Cut large pieces in half lengthwise again.

    Put parsnips into boiling salted water.

    Boil for 8 to 10 minutes until crisp-tender.

    Rinse under cold water until cool; drain.

    Mix parsnips, 3 tablespoons melted Crisco, lemon juice, chervil, and tarragon.

    Let stand for 1 hour.

    Meanwhile, mix flour, 1 tablespoon melted Crisco, cider, buttermilk, and cheese until thick and smooth.

    Let stand for 1 hour.

    Heat Crisco to 365ºF in a medium saucepan or deep fryer.

    Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; fold into batter.

    Dip parsnips in batter.

    Fry, a few at a time, for 2 minutes until crisp and golden. (Do not use fryer basket.)

    Drain on paper towels.

    Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

    Serve hot.

    Makes 8 Servings
