souffle be ever so well made, and it is allowed to stand
before being sent to table, its appearance and goodness will be entirely
spoiled. Souffles may be flavoured in various ways, but must be named
accordingly. Vanilla is one of the most delicate and recherche
flavourings that can be used for this very fashionable dish.

SNOW EGGS, or OEUFS A LA NEIGE.

(_A very pretty Supper Dish_.)

1482. INGREDIENTS.--4 eggs, 3/4 pint of milk, pounded sugar to taste,
flavouring of vanilla, lemon-rind, or orange-flower water.

_Mode_.--Put the milk into a saucepan with sufficient sugar to sweeten
it nicely, and the rind of 1/2 lemon. Let this steep by the side of the
fire for 1/2 hour, when take out the peel; separate the whites from the
yolks of the eggs, and whisk the former to a perfectly stiff froth, or
until there is no liquid remaining; bring the milk to the boiling-point,
and drop in the snow a tablespoonful at a time, and keep turning the
eggs until sufficiently cooked. Then place them on a glass dish, beat up
the yolks of the eggs, stir to them the milk, add a little more sugar,
and strain this mixture into a jug; place the jug in a saucepan of
boiling water, and stir it one way until the mixture thickens, but do
not allow it to boil, or it will curdle. Pour this custard over the
eggs, when they should rise to the surface. They make an exceedingly
pretty addition to a supper, and should be put in a cold place after
being made. When they are flavoured with vanilla or orange-flower water,
it is not necessary to steep the milk. A few drops of the essence of
either may be poured in the milk just before the whites are poached. In
making the custard, a little more flavouring and sugar should always be
added.

_Time_.--About 2 minutes to poach the whites; 8 minutes to stir the
custard.

_Average cost_, 8d.

_Sufficient_ for 4 or 5 persons. _Seasonable_ at any time.
