December 17th : OMELETTE SOUFLEE
Break up a dozen eggs, separating the whites from the yolks, into the latter mix two tea-spoonfuls of grated lemon-peel, and four of finely powdered sugar; whisk the whites for ten minutes, add the froth to the yolks just before frying. Melt a quarter of a pound of butter in a pan, and put in the eggs; as soon as they are quite set, slant the frying-pan and turn the mover.
Have the dish, on which you mean to serve, well buttered, strew powdered sugar over the omelette, and brown the top with a salamander.
