APPENDIX. 501 



FRENCH BOLLS. 



Take one egg, one cup of milk (or water in lieu of it), three 

 spoonfuls of leaven, one spoonful of butter, a little salt, and 

 as much flour as will make it a thick paste ; then make it 

 into rolls, and when well risen bake them in an oven, covered 

 dish, or fry-pan. 



A PEEFECT OMELET. 



Take six eggs, leaving out the whites of two ; beat them till 

 they are very light, and add pepper and salt to your taste ; di-

 two ounces of butter in a pan set on the fire, and when melt-

 pinch of nutmeg; mix it in; then add the eggs, with a table- 

 spoonful of gravy or essence of beef; put the pan again over 

 a slow fire, stir constantly till cooked to suit, and serve warm. 



TO FRY SALT PORK NICELY. 



Cut it in thin slices, and put it in a fry-pan covered with 

 hot water ; let it boil up once, and then pour it off; shake a 

 little pepper over it ; let it fry on both sides in its own fat, 

 then take out the pieces and add to the gravy a large tea- 

 spoon of flour ; stir it till smooth and free of lumps ; then add
