Omelet Souffle. Separate 6 eggs, beat the whites to a very stiff froth. Beat 3 yolks, add them to the whites, then dust over 3 tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, add the grated yellow rind and the juice of Y/2 lemon.

Just as soon as it is mixed, heap it into a baking dish, dust it thickly with powdered sugar and bake in a quick oven 10 or 15 minutes. As soon as it February. is nicely browned it is sufficiently cooked. Serve at once. — From "Table Talk," Phila- delphia. 22. — Lemon Sponge.
