_Baked Omelet_
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk, heated
4 eggs
2 tsp. fat
Pepper
Melt the butter, add the flour and seasonings, mix thoroughly, then add
the hot milk slowly. Separate the eggs, beat the yolks, and add the
white sauce to them. Beat the whites until stiff and cut and fold them
carefully into the yolk mixture, so that the lightness is all retained.
Turn into a greased baking-dish and bake in a moderate oven from 20 to
30 minutes. Serve hot. Serves six.
_Macaroni and Cheese_
1 c. macaroni, noodles, or rice
2 tbsp. fat
3 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Pepper
1-1/2 c. milk
1 c. grated cheese
2 c. buttered bread crumbs (two tbsp. butter or other fat)
Break the macaroni into 1-inch pieces and cook it in a large amount of
salted boiling water from 30 to 45 minutes. Drain it well when tender
and pour cold water through it.
Break up the bread crumbs and add two tablespoonfuls of melted butter to
them. Grate the cheese and make a white sauce of the fat, flour,
seasonings, and milk. Mix the cheese with the sauce, add the macaroni,
and pour it into a buttered baking-dish. Cover with the bread crumbs and
bake 15 or 20 minutes, to brown the crumbs. Serves eight.
