Omelette Soufflée. Mix one-half pound of sugar with the yolks of two eggs, add one-half of a split vanilla bean, and beat until light and fluffy. Remove the pieces of vanilla bean. Beat the whites of eight eggs until absolutely stiff, and then add to the batter lightly. Arrange on a silver platter in fancy shape, and decorate with a pastry bag with a fine tube. Dust with powdered sugar, and bake in a rather hot oven for a few minutes.
