Butter thoroughly a dozen small earthenware jars, and place them in a pan in the oven to heat; then beat the whites of a couple of eggs to a stiff froth, and mix in with the rest, and afterwards put the batter into the heated, buttered jars, and set them in the oven and bake until they rise well and are of a brown color at the sides, where they have risen above the jars; turn them out into cups, and serve not.
