Flour these on the outside, and throw them into boiling water.
These can be used for garnishing purposes for the vast majority of vegetarian dishes.

OMELETS .-- It is a strange fact, but not the less true, that to get a well-made omelet in a private house in this country is the exception and not the rule.

A few general remarks on making omelets will, we hope, not be out of place in writing a book on an exceptional style of cookery, in which omelets should play a most important part.
First of all, we require an omelet-pan, and for this purpose the cheaper the frying-pan the better.

The best omelet-pan of all is a copper one, tinned inside.

Copper conveys heat quicker than almost any other metal; consequently, if we use an ordinary frying-pan, the thinner it is the quicker will heat be conveyed.
It is very essential that the frying-pan be absolutely clean, and it will be found almost essential to reserve the omelet-pan for omelets only.
