EGG AND MILK.
456. Take a fresh egg, break it in a saucer, and with a three-pronged fork beat it until it is as thick as batter. Have ready half a pint of new milk sweetened with white sugar, stir the egg into the milk, and serve it with a piece of sponge-cake or slice of toast. It is considered very light, nourishing food for an invalid.
Some prefer the yelk and white of the egg beaten separately. The yelk should be beaten till it is very light and thick, then pour it into the sweetened milk; afterwards beat the white till it will stand alone, and add gradually half a tea spoonful of white sugar; pile the white on the top of the milk and serve as before.
