Omelette A La Duchesse
This is a sweet baked omelette, and is served the same as one would serve an omelette soufflé.
Ingredients
6 eggs
½ cupful of water
½ a lemon's yellow rind, grated
½ cupful of thick cream
½ cupful of granulated sugar
1 teaspoonful of vanilla or orange flower water
1 small bit of cinnamon
Method
Put the sugar, water, cinnamon and lemon rind over the fire, boil until it spins a thread and stand aside to cool. Separate the eggs; beat the yolks until creamy, and add the cream, then the strained syrup. Add the vanilla, and when cool fold in the well-beaten whites. Turn at once into a shallow silver or granite dish, dust thickly with powdered sugar and bake in a quick oven until brown.
