DIRECTIONS
Mix and sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine eggs, milk, Ac'cent*, and melted butter or margarine; add to flour mixture gradually, stirring until smooth. Add vegetables. Drop by spoonfuls in vegetable oil, 2 inches deep, heated to 375°. Fry 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve with Cheese Sauce (see recipe). Makes 6 servings.
