Beat the eggs and sugar till very light; then stir in flour as light as sponge cake, and then enough to spread nicely when poured; make up as quickly as possible; have ready shallow pans lined with thin brown paper; use no grease on pan or paper; pour in the batter and spread with a knife 1/2 inch; when done let cool a few minutes; while still warm turn out of pans upside down. With a soft cloth wet in cold water brush over the paper and pull off; spread with jelly and roll up.
