First-class price, omelet with 3 eggs 25 cents.

Break 3 eggs into a bowl, put in with them 3 tablespoons milk. Beat to mix but not to make it too light. Put a bastingspoonful of the clear part of melted butter into the frying pan, pour in the omelet without waiting for the butter to get hot and discolored, let cook gradually, shaking it frequently to the further side of the pan until the thin edge, forced upward, falls over into the middle. When it is nicely browned and the upper side just set, put current jelly or other fruit jelly in a long line in the middle that is made hollow in the further side of the pan for the purpose. Roll so as to shut in the jelly, slide it smooth side up on to a hot dish, dredge powdered sugar on top and mark it with slanting cross-bars by touching the sugar with a red-hot wire or spoon handle.

Cost of material - eggs 8, butter to fry 3, jelly 5, sugar 1; 17c.
