One whole egg and one extra yolk. One tablespoonful of salad oil. Two tablespoonfuls of cream or milk. A few grains of salt.

Sieve the flour and salt into a basin. Add the oil to the milk, pour these into the middle of the flour, and mix them in smoothly. Add the yolks of the eggs, and beat the batter well.
