Omlet

Make a batter of eggs and milk, and a very little flour; put to it chopped parsley, onions, or chives (the latter is best); or a very small quantity of shalot, a little pepper, salt, and a scrape or two of nutmeg. Make some very nice dripping: boil in a small fryingpan, and pour the above batter into it. When one side is of a fine yellow brown, turn and do the other. Some scraped lean ham, put in at first, is a very pleasant addition. Three eggs will make a pretty sized omlet; but many cooks will use eight or ten.

If the taste be approved, a little tarragon gives a fine flavour. A good deal of parsley should be used.
