Ingredients:
½ pint of flour
5 egg yolks
1 coffee-spoonful castor sugar
½ pint milk
a pinch of salt and of vanilla
2 ounces butter
4 egg whites

Preparation:

1. Mix in an earthern bowl half a pint of flour, five yolks of eggs, a coffee-spoonful of castor sugar, half pint of milk (fresh), adding a pinch of salt and of vanilla; then two ounces butter melted over hot water.
2. Then beat up the whites of four eggs very stiffly, and add them.
3. Butter a baking-tin or sheet (since English households have not got a gaufre-iron*, which is double and closes up), and pour in your mixture, spreading it over the sheet. When the gaufre is nicely yellowed, take it out and powder it with sugar.
