Peanut Soufflé

1 tablespoon butter

Few drops lemon-juice

6 tablespoons flour

1½ cups scalded milk

¾ cup peanut butter

4 eggs

1½ teaspoons salt

Melt the butter and add the flour, peanut butter and seasoning. Cook for three minutes, stirring constantly. Add scalded milk, and continue cooking until the mixture reaches the boiling-point. Remove from the fire, pour the hot mixture over the well-beaten egg-yolks, mixing them in well. Cool, and fold in the egg-whites that have been beaten until stiff and dry. When the ingredients are thoroughly combined, place in a baking-dish, set in a pan of water in a moderate oven (350° F.), and bake thirty minutes. Serve immediately.

This dish is a good luncheon dish but, because of its texture, should have something crisp or solid served with it.
