A Fondu

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces potato flour
• 1 1/2 ounces grated cheese
• 1 1/2 ounces butter
• 1/4 pint milk or cream
• salt
• pepper
• 4 eggs, yolks only
• 4 egg whites

Instructions

1. Make into a batter one ounce and a half of potatoe flour with the same quantity of grated cheese and of butter, and a quarter of a pint of milk or cream.
2. Add a little salt, very little pepper, and the well-beaten yolks of four fine fresh eggs.
3. When all this is well mixed together, pour in the whites of the eggs, well whisked to a froth.
4. Pour the mixture into a deep soup plate or dish used expressly for the purpose, and bake in a moderate oven.
5. The dish should be only half filled with the fondu, as it will rise very high.
6. It must be served the moment it is ready, or it will fall.
7. It is a good plan to hold a salamander over it while being brought to table.
