String Beans with Cream

Prepare the beans, and then place them in a saucepan of slightly salted water, boiling until quite tender. Meanwhile put the yolks of three or four eggs in a basin and beat them up with a little cream, adding some warmed butter, and beating well. Pour this mixture into a saucepan on the fire, and, when quite hot, mix in a little vinegar together with the beans. After they have been drained, remove the pan to the side of the fire, and steam gently for six or seven minutes, stirring constantly. When done, turn out onto a dish, and serve at once.
