Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
6 eggs, 3 oz. of powdered sugar, 1 oz. of butter, 1 dessertspoonful of
potato flour, and 1 dessertspoonful of orangeflower water. Put the
yolks of the eggs into a large basin, add the sugar, potato flour, and
orange water, and beat all well with a wooden spoon for 10 minutes;
beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and mix them lightly
with the other ingredients. Meanwhile beat the butter in the omelet
pan; when boiling pour the mixture into it, and fry the omelet over a
gentle fire. When it begins to set round the sides shake it very
gently from side to side, and turn the omelet neatly out on a buttered
dish. Set it in the oven for about 10 minutes, and serve immediately
with a little castor sugar sifted over it.
OMELET TOMATO (1).
This is made in almost the same way as the savoury omelet, but without
the addition of flavouring herbs. 2 average-sized tomatoes are cut up
fine, and mixed with the ingredients given above. When tinned tomatoes
are used the juice may be made hot and the bread soaked in it instead
of in milk and water.
OMELET TOMATO (2).
1 lb. of tomatoes, 1/2 lb. of breadcrumbs, 1 large Spanish onion, 3
eggs, 2 oz. of butter, pepper and salt to taste. Stew the finely
chopped onions in the butter for 20 minutes in a covered-up saucepan,
add pepper and salt, cut the tomatoes up, add these to the other
ingredients. Let all simmer for 20 minutes; pour the mixture over the
breadcrumbs, add the eggs well beaten, mix all up thoroughly, and turn
the mixture into one or more well-buttered shallow tins. Bake the
omelet in a quick oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
OMELET TRAPPIST.
4 oz. of fine breadcrumbs, 2 eggs, 1-1/2 oz. of butter, 1/2
teaspoonful of powdered herbs, pepper and salt to taste, 1/2 gill of
boiling milk. Moisten the breadcrumbs with the milk, add the eggs well
beaten, the herbs and seasoning. Mix all well and smoothly. Melt the
butter in the frying-pan, spread the mixture in it, and fry the omelet
a golden brown both sides.
SWEET OMELET (1).
3 eggs, 2 oz. of butter, sugar to taste, 1 lemon, and 1/2 a teacupful
of new milk. Whip the yolks of the eggs well, adding the grated rind
of the lemon, half the butter melted, the milk, and sugar. Just before
frying the omelet, add the lemon juice and the whites of the eggs
whipped to a stiff froth. Make the rest of the butter boiling hot in
an oval omelet pan, the size of the dish on which it is to be served,
and fry till lightly browned. Sift sugar over it, and serve
immediately.
SWEET OMELET (2).
1/2 pint of new milk, 4 eggs, cinnamon and sugar to taste, 1 oz. of
butter, and 1 teaspoonful of Allinson fine wheatmeal. Smooth the
wheatmeal with the milk, and mix with the other ingredients. Make the
butter boiling hot in a frying-pan, and fry the omelet till lightly
browned. Serve immediately with sugar sifted over it.
SWEET OMELET (3).
