Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whip up the whites and yolks of the eggs separately.
  2. Stir in the melted butter and flour gradually, then the milk and water, mixing very smoothly.
  3. Put an omelet-pan on the fire with a pat of butter or fat.
  4. Put in sufficient batter to run over it as thick as a crown piece.
  5. Shake the pan when you think one side is done, then toss it up so as to turn.
  6. Sprinkle with sugar or spread with honey, roll up and put on a dish in the oven until you have enough to send in.
  7. Alternatively, place them on a dish, grating some sugar and cinnamon between each, cut in quarters, and serve very hot.
