Beat to a cream the yolks of four eggs with one
cup of granulated sugar, to which add the whites of
two eggs beaten to a stiff froth, one-half cup of milk
alternately with one and a half cups of sifted flour
into which a teaspoonful and a half of baking pow-
der has been well mixed. Beat well and bake in three
layers if the pans are large, or four if small, in a quick
oven from seven to ten minutes, try with a broom
straw, and when it comes out clean remove from the
oven. Don’t let them bake a moment too long, or
they will not absorb the icing.

FILLING. The whites of two eggs beaten to a
stiff froth, to which add a cup of powdered sugar,
pouring it in all at once and beating hard, then the
grated rind of an orange select one dark in color
and the juice. The mixture should be like a thick
cream. Spread thickly on the cake while hot, and to
what is left add enough sugar about half a cupful
for frosting to harden. Ice the top and sides. This
is a delicious cake, easily and quickly made.

CARAMEL CUSTARD BAKED.

A pint and a half of rich milk, a cup and a half of
granulated sugar, the fourth of a vanilla bean. Put
the milk and vanilla bean cut small into a double
boiler over the fire. Melt the sugar -without water
in a spider, stirring constantly until it is all dissolved
and the syrup is a rich golden brown. Do not let it
get too dark or it will be bitter. When the milk is at
the boiling point stir in half the boiling syrup if put
in too fast the milk will boil over. Let it cook until
the sugar (if it hardened as it touched the milk) dis-
solves. Have four eggs beaten very light in a bowl,
pour the milk over them, add a little salt, and if
vanilla bean is not used for flavoring, stir in extract
of vanilla to taste. Rinse a mould with cold water,
pour the custard into it and set it in a pan of hot
water in the oven, bake from twenty to twenty-five
minutes and test with a knife. If it comes out clean
it is done. Add boiling water to the remainder of
the syrup and let it cook gently until it is the con-
sistency of thick cream. Flavor with vanilla. Serve
very cold.

SOFT-BOILED CUSTARD.

Put a quart of rich milk in a double boiler over
the fire with a third of a vanilla bean, split in half,
and sugar to taste. Beat the whites of six eggs to a
stiff froth, add three heaping teaspoonfuls of granu-
lated sugar, and when the milk conies to the boiling
point drop the whites of eggs into it by tablespoon-
fuls in egg-shape, turn them over in the hot milk for
a few seconds, repeat until all are done, drain them
and return the milk to the saucepan. Beat the six
egg yolks to a light cream, turn the hot milk over it
gradually and pour the custard back into the boiler ;
return to the fire and stir vigorously until it thickens
and is smooth to the taste. Remove from the fire,
pour at once into a bowl, add a little salt, and set
aside to cool. Then put on the ice and at serving
time turn into a glass bowl, arrange the whites of
eggs on top and serve with sponge cake.

I’d like to get in touch with expatriates poeple living near aix en provence, pertuis, le luberon. I need to know how many of them would be interested in learning french cooking at home, having some help to carry out administrative formalities, assistance in everyday life. To start such an activity, the best way is to know if you would be interested in it. Thank you for your reply.

EGGS WITH CREAM.

Melt a small lump of butter in a shallow baking
dish and break into it carefully six eggs, pour over
them a third of a cup of boiling cream, place in a
very quick oven long enough to set the whites of
eggs and serve at once in the dish in which they are
baked. Two or three minutes will cook them.

CURRIED EGGS.

Boil six eggs hard, cut in half lengthwise, make a
white sauce and stir into it a heaping teaspoonful of
curry powder ; put the eggs carefully into this sauce,
heat thoroughly, lift them out and place in the center
of a dish. Arrange boiled rice around them, pour the
sauce over the eggs, garnish with parsley and serve.

STUFFED EGGS.

Boil six eggs hard, cut in half lengthwise, take
out the yolks and mash them very fine ; put aside a
heaping teaspoonful of it, add to the rest two tea-
spoonfuls of butter, three teaspoonfuls of rich cream,
a few drops of onion juice, and salt and pepper to
taste ; mix well, fill the whites of eggs, rounding the
top of each to the size of a whole egg. Make a white
sauce as follows: Rub a heaping tablespoonful of
butter into half a tablespoonful of flour, and stir into
it a cup of boiling milk ; when it is smooth and thick
put the eggs into it carefully, when hot take them
out, arrange daintily on a platter, pour the sauce
around them, sprinkle the teaspoonful of the yolk
reserved over them, garnish with parsley and serve.

FRIED STUFFED EGGS.

Prepare the eggs as in the recipe for stuffed eggs,
filling the cavity of the whites evenly, and pressing
the two halves together so as to make it appear as a
whole egg. Take what is left of the mixture, add to
it one raw egg beaten light, roll each egg in this, cov-
ering thoroughly every part of it, and fry in boiling
fat. Serve around a dish of green peas, or with a
cream sauce ir> to which has been stirred, just before
removing from the fire, two slightly heaping table-
spoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese.
