Jib. of any dry, rich Cheese. Butter one dozen small paper cases, or little boxes of stiff writing-paper like souffle-cases. Put a saucepan containing 1 gill of water over the fire, add 2 table-spoonfuls of butter, and when the water boils stir in 1 heaped table-spoonful of flour, and beat the mixture until it shrinks away from the sides of the saucepan ; then stir in the grated Cheese. Remove the paste thus made from the fire, and let it partly cool. In the meantime separate the yolks from the whites of three eggs, and beat them until the yolks foam and the whites make a stiff froth. Stir the yolks in with the paste first, and next lightly mix in the whites. Put Cheese — continued. the mixture at once into the buttered paper cases, only half filling them (as they rise very high while being baked), lay on the top small slices of Cheese symmetrically, and Fig. 429. Cheese Ramekin. bake in a moderate oven for about fifteen minutes. As soon as the puffs are done, put the cases on a hot dish covered with a folded napkin, and serve very hot. See Fig 429. (3) Put loz. of butter into a basin, heat it to oil, and beat in an egg ; then add Coz. of grated Parmesan Cheese, sprinkled with cayenne to taste, and loz. of flour. When thoroughly incorporated, roll the paste on a floured board, cut it into fancy shapes, brush over with egg, and bake in a moderate oven. Take them out when a good brown colour, sprinkle over grated Cheese, and serve when slightly cooled. (4) Put 2oz. of butter into a saucepan, warm it, and mix in 3oz. of flour and 1 breakfast-cupful of milk; stir well, and boil for a few minutes. Remove the pan from the fire, mix in lightly the well-beaten yolks of three eggs
