OMELET (a la Celestine)

Mix two eggs very smoothly with two ounces of dried flour. Add a small pinch of salt, two table-spoonfuls of powdered sugar, and half a pint of good milk. Dissolve an ounce of butter in a hot frying-pan, pour in two table-spoonfuls of the batter, and let it spread all over the pan. When firm, put a tea-spoonful of good jam and a dessert-spoonful of rich custard in the middle of the omelet, fold it over, and roll it round and round. Arrange the omelets neatly on a hot dish, sift a little powdered sugar over them, and serve immediately. These omelets are sometimes made with beaten egg and sugar only. Time, three or four minutes to fry. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for three or four persons.
