Sharply mix with a whisk for two minutes, set pan on the fire, constantly stir with wooden spoon until it comes to a boil and let slowly cook for ten minutes, occasionally stirring meanwhile. Beat up whites of the four eggs to a stiff froth and add to the preparation, gently mix, cook for five minutes longer, continually stirring meanwhile, remove, let cool off and use as required.
