Plain Omelets

Beat six eggs well in a basin and season with pepper and salt and a little water. Melt a large piece of butter in a fryingpan, pour the beaten eggs in and stand it at the side but not on the fire, turning it often. When the edges are done gather them together and roll over and over, and serve them very hot.
