Fritters Souffles a la Vanille.— Infuse in a saucepan half of a vanilla-bean in half a pint of boiling milk, and reduce it to half. Remove the vanilla-bean, and put in one ounce of good butter. Let it come to a boil, then add two ounces of sifted flour, and with the spatula stir briskly, to form a paste so stiff that it will no longer adhere to the saucepan. Remove it to another vessel. Add one ounce of powdered sugar, two egg yolks, and half a saltspoonful of salt. Beat the white of one egg to a stiff froth, and mix it in with half a spoonful of whipped cream
