Seven eggs; two tablespoonfuls of sugar; one-half cupful of milk (or cream); grated peel of half a lemon; one-half cupful of marmalade or jam. Beat yolks and whites apart and very-stiff. Add sugar, lemon, and milk to the yolks; then, with a few rapid whirls of your egg-beater, the whites.

Eight minutes should suffice to cook it.
