and then taken out.

brown with a salamander.

PANCAKES.
Mix a light batter of eggs with flour and milk or water, fry in

fashionable, they should be fried of the very lightest colour; they
are good also made of rice, which must be boiled in milk till quite
tender; then beat up with eggs, and flavoured according to taste, and
fried like other pancakes.
