Cheese Souffles

Put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan and one heaping tablespoonful of flour; when smooth, add one teacupful of milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a little cayenne pepper, and cook for two minutes; then add the well-beaten yolks of three eggs and one breakfast cupful of grated cheese, and set it one side to cool. After it is cold, add the whites, beaten to a stiff froth, turn into a buttered dish, and bake for about thirty minutes, then serve immediately.
