Jam Omelet

Beat four eggs, and mix with them a tea-spoonful of moist sugar, a pinch of salt, and a table-spoonful of milk. Make an omelet-pan quite hot--the best way to do this is to put it on the fire with a little fat, and when this boils pour it off, and wipe the pan dry--put two ounces of fat or oil into the pan, and when it begins to bubble pour in the eggs, etc., and keep stirring them with a spoon until lightly set. Let them remain a minute, until the omelet is browned on one side, then turn it on a hot dish, spread a little jam in the middle, fold the edges over on each side, sift a little sugar over, and serve as quickly as possible. Time, five or six minutes to fry the omelet. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for three persons.
