BETTINA'S RECIPES

(All measurements are level)

Scrambled Eggs (Two portions)

3 eggs
5 T-milk
¼ t-salt
¹/₈ t-paprika
1 T-butter

Beat the eggs slightly; add milk, salt and paprika. Melt the butter in a frying pan or omelet pan. When hot, add the egg mixture, and cook slowly, scraping from bottom and sides of the pan when mixture first sets. Cook until creamy, or longer if preferred. If desired, the egg may be constantly "scrambled" with a fork while cooking. Turn into a hot dish and serve at once.

1 C-cooked diced celery
1 T-butter
1 T-flour
½ C-milk and celery stock
3 T-grated cheese
¹/₈ t-paprika
¼ t-salt
