I found this recipe in 1940s vintage pamphlet titled 300 ways to serve Eggs, published by the Culinary Arts Institute. Flour in an omelet? Intriguing! I just HAD to try it out.
The light airy fluffiness when folding in the beaten egg whites will delight your senses as each bite magically disappears the instant it touches your lips.
Your children will think you are serving them egg pancakes. What’s not to love about that?
Omelet with Flour
Serves 4
Adapted by the Culinary Arts Institute, 1940
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
½ teaspoon salt
4 eggs, separated
½ cup grated sharp cheese (I used gruyere)
Instructions:
Add ¼ cup milk to flour and salt and beat until smooth. Add remainder of milk. Add ½ cup grated sharp cheese to milk. Beat yolks until thick and lemon colored. Add milk mixture and fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into hot buttered skillet or omelet pan and cook as for Puffy Omelet.
Have you challenged yourself to try new herbs this year? Tarragon adds a subtle depth to the everyday green bean dish. Chopped as a garnish, each bite will bring you a reminder that spring is right around the corner.
Enjoy!
