Omelet Soufflé,
Sweet.—In making an omelet soufflé, sweet, you can
proceed in exactly the same manner as making a cheese
soufflé, with the exception that you add two tablespoonfuls
of powdered sugar instead of two tablespoonfuls of grated
cheese. The omelet will, however, require flavouring of some
kind, the two most delicate being vanilla and orange-flower
water. You can flavour it with lemon by rubbing a few lumps
of sugar on the outside of a lemon, and then pounding this
with the powdered sugar. It must be pounded very thoroughly
and mixed very carefully, or else one part of the omelet
will taste stronger of lemon than the other. Some powdered
sugar should be shaken over the top of the soufflé just
before serving.
Omelet Soufflé (another
way).—When a soufflé is made on a larger scale, and
served up on a flat dish, it is best to proceed as
follows:—Take six ounces of powdered sugar, and mix them with
six yolks of eggs and a dessertspoonful of flour and a pinch of
salt. To this must be added whatever flavouring is used, such
as vanilla. This is all mixed together till it is perfectly
smooth. Next beat the six whites to a very stiff froth; mix
this in with the batter lightly, put two ounces of butter into
an omelet-pan, and as soon as the butter begins to frizzle pour
in the mixture. As it begins to set round the edges, turn it
over and heap it up in the middle, and then slide the omelet
off on to a plated-edged baking dish, which must be well
buttered. Put it in the oven for about a quarter of an hour, to
let it rise, shake some powdered sugar over the top, and serve
very quickly.
Omelet, Sweet.—Make an
ordinary plain
omelet with six eggs and either two or four ounces
of butter, as directed for making omelet, plain. Instead of
adding pepper and salt to the beaten-up eggs, add one or two
tablespoonfuls of finely powdered sugar. At the last moment,
sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the omelet, and just
glaze the sugar with a red-hot salamander.
Omelet with Jam.—Make
a plain sweet
omelet as directed above, adding rather less
sugar—about half. If you make the omelet with two ounces of
butter, and turn it over, put a couple of tablespoonfuls of
jam on the omelet, and turn the half over the jam. It is
best to put the jam in the oven for a minute or two to take
the chill off.
