Fried Eggs with Black Butter

Put one ounce of butter in a fryingpan; place on the hot stove and allow to become hot without browning; break twelve eggs into cups and slide them carefully into the pan, season with salt and white pepper and cook slowly for three minutes. Have ready a hot flat dish, slide the eggs gently onto it without turning the over, taking care not to break them, and set the dish in a warm place. Put two ounces of butter in the saucepan, place it on the hot stove again and let the butter get a good lemon color, which will take about three minutes; add two teaspoonfuls of vinegar, pour this over the eggs, and serve at once.
