Raspberry Omelet

Break three eggs into a basin, and add a tea-spoonful of sugar and two table-spoonfuls of milk or cream. Melt two ounces of butter in an omelet-pan. Beat the eggs, etc. till they are quite frothy, and keep on beating them till the last moment. When the butter is frothing pour in the mixture, and stir quickly with a spoon, scraping the bottom of the frying-pan all the time till the omelet begins to set. Draw it a little from the fire, and work it into a half-moon shape. Hold it before the fire in a slanting position to make it rise, put a spoonful of raspberry jam in the centre, and serve the omelet immediately. If preferred, the jam may be placed on one half of the omelet, and the other half turned completely over it. Time, three or four minutes. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for two persons.
