To Make a Plain Sweet Omelet
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 4 oz butter
- 2 oz sifted sugar
Instructions
- Break the eggs into a basin, omitting the whites of 3;
- whisk them well, adding the sugar and 2 oz. of the butter, which should be broken into small pieces, and stir all these ingredients well together.
- Make the remainder of the butter quite hot in a small frying-pan, and when it commences to bubble, pour in the eggs, &c.
- Keep stirring them until they begin to set;
- then turn the edges of the omelet over, to make it an oval shape, and finish cooking it.
- To brown the top, hold the pan before the fire, or use a salamander, and turn it carefully on to a _very hot_ dish: sprinkle sifted sugar over, and serve.
