the above flavourings
that may be preferred, and stir these ingredients well together. Whip
the whites of the eggs, mix them lightly with the batter, and put the
butter into a small frying-pan. As soon as it begins to bubble, pour the
batter into it, and set the pan over a bright but gentle fire; and when
the omelet is set, turn the edges over to make it an oval shape, and
slip it on to a silver dish, which has been previously well buttered.
Put it in the oven, and bake from 12 to 15 minutes; sprinkle
finely-powdered sugar over the souffle, and _serve it immediately_.

_Time_.--About 4 minutes in the pan; to bake, from 12 to 15 minutes.

_Average cost_. 1s.

_Sufficient_ for 3 or 4 persons. _Seasonable_ at any time.

BACHELOR'S OMELET.

1462. INGREDIENTS.--2 or 3 eggs, 2 oz. of butter, 1 teaspoonful of
flour, 1/2 teacupful of milk.

_Mode_.--Make a thin cream of the flour and milk; then beat up the eggs,
mix all together, and add a pinch of salt and a few grains of cayenne.
Melt the butter in a small frying-pan, and, when very hot, pour in the
batter. Let the pan remain for a few minutes over a clear fire; then
sprinkle upon the omelet some chopped herbs and a few shreds of onion;
double the omelet dexterously, and shake it out of the pan on to a hot
dish. A simple sweet omelet can be made by the same process,
substituting sugar or preserve for the chopped herbs.

_Time_.--2 minutes.

_Average cost_, 6d.

_Sufficient_ for 2 persons.

_Seasonable_ at any time.

ORANGE CREAM.

1463. INGREDIENTS.--1 oz. of isinglass, 6 large oranges, 1 lemon, sugar

[Illustration: OPEN MOULD.]

_Mode_.--Squeeze the juice from the oranges and lemon; strain it, and
put it into a saucepan with the isinglass, and sufficient water to make
in all 1-1/2 pint. Rub the sugar on the orange and lemon-rind, add it to
the other ingredients, and boil all together for about 10 minutes.
Strain through a muslin bag, and, when cold, beat up with it 1/2 pint of
thick cream. Wet a mould, or soak it in cold water; pour in the cream,
and put it in a cool place to set. If the weather is very cold, 1 oz. of
isinglass will be found sufficient for the above proportion of
ingredients.

_Time_.--10 minutes to boil the juice and water.

_Average cost_, with the best isinglass, 3s.

_Sufficient_ to fill a quart mould.

_Seasonable_ from November to May.
