mousseline sauce (No. 385). Separate the whites from the yolks of eggs.

Have ready a charlotte mould, well buttered, and dredged with flour, put in the mixture, cover with a buttered paper. Steam in the oven (the mould being stood in a saute-pan or stewpan three parts full of hot water) for a good half-hour.
