Ham Omelette

Ingredients

• One cup of fine-minced cold ham
• 6 egg yolks and whites beaten separately
• 6 teaspoonfuls cornstarch
• 1/2 pint of milk
• 1/2 teaspoonful salt
• 1 tablespoonful melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoonful baking powder

Method

1. 1

   Mix the yolks, salt, and butter well together, by degrees add the milk and cornstarch, then add this slowly to the beaten whites.

2. 2

   Place an omelette pan with 1 tablespoonful butter over the fire; as soon as the butter is melted pour in half of the mixture; bake until light brown on the under side, then place the pan for a few minutes in a hot oven.

3. 3

   Sprinkle half of the ham over the surface, slip a broad-bladed knife under one side of the omelette, and double in half, inclosing the meat.

4. 4

   Then upset the frying pan on a hot dish, treat the remaining mixture the same way, and serve.
