Snow Eggs

Put over the fire a quart of rich milk, sweeten and flavor it with orangeflower water. Separate the yolks and whites of six fresh eggs, then beat [202] the whites to a stiff froth. Drop one spoonful at a time into the boiling milk; turn as quickly as possible, and lift out of the milk with a skimmer; place them on a sieve; beat up the yolks and stir them into the milk; let them have one boil up and put them in a glass dish. Arrange the whites around the edges, and serve cold. This is a pretty dish.
