Omelet

Mrs. Midgley.

Six eggs, teacup of milk, pepper and salt; beat yolks and whites separately; add pepper and salt with yolks, then stir in the milk; lastly stir in the whites very lightly; have your pan very hot, put a good bit of butter in your pan, then the mixture. Cook ten minutes, put in the oven for three minutes, slip on a hot plate, and eat.
