Add a little milk and sugar or limejuice.

Beat up an egg and then add to it a tumbler full of warm milk slowly, beating all the time. Add a little sugar or glucose if desired.

A lightly boiled egg, cooked but still soft, is easily digested and suitable for the sick and for infants. The egg in its shell is placed gently into a pan of boiling water and kept boiling for three to four minutes.

 

6. Poached egg:

 

This too is suitable for those on a light diet. Break the shell, taking care not to break the egg-yolk, and pour the egg into the shallow pan of boiling water. Cook gently until the white part is opaque. Take it out with a flat spoon. It is usually served on a slice of toast with or without butter, and a little salt.

 

7. Albumen water:

 

The white of egg is only used. Separate the white from the yolk. Cut with a knife to break up the membrane and then add it to about 150 ml of water, stirring well or it may be mixed by shaking gently in a screw-topped jar. Strain before serving, and add a little limejuice or glucose if desired.
