The moment you are ready to send up, beat the whites of the eggs, which throw in with the rest, and put into the oven for a proper time in the vessel which you wish to use.

Souffle, Omelet. — Break six eggs, put the whites into one pan and the yolks into another; rasp a little lemon-peel or orange- flowers, beat the yolks well, add a little sugar and salt, and next beat the whites well to snow, and mix them with the yolks lightly. Then put a lumj) of butter into an omelet-pan on the fire ; when the butter is melted, pom- the omelet into the pan ; and when it is firm enough on one side to hold the liquid part, turn it over on the dish you send up ; then bake it in an oven, or use the Dutch oven. When it is well raised, glaze it, and send it up immediately, for it would soon lower. ]\Iind, it must be covered very close with a largo tire over it, otherwise it will not rise. To this you may give whatever flavour you think proper, but the plainer the better when served very hot and very high ; you may add to it some apricot jam. When you have put the omelets in the pan, and the eggs begin to stiffen, move them a little on one side by giving the pan a jerk, and put the jam in the centre ; turn the omelets into the dish they are to be served on, and put it into the oven.

Next beat the six whites, and mix them with the rest ; then bake the souffle in the usual way, and when it is baked enough, glaze it, and send it up.
