As published

This recipe was extracted from Household hints (1881) by Emma Whitcomb Babcock, page 21. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

omelet, which is a favorite dish with many excellent cooks, use this rule : Beat the yolks of six eggs and the whites of three till they are very light ; take one teacup of cream, if you can get it (milk will answer if you can not) ; mix with it very smoothly one table-spoonful of flour, add salt and pepper as you please ; . heat your frying-pan and melt in it a large spoonful of butter

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
