To be used as a dessert with hard sauce, or in soup. For soup the stock should be well seasoned and boiling when the batter is ready. Beat separately very stiff and light the yolks and whites of 2 eggs. Place a saucepan with 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 tablespoonful of butter over the fire. As soon as it boils add 1/2 cup of flour. Stir until the contents are a smooth dough, and loosen from the bottom. Take from the fire and beat in the yolks. When smooth add the whites of the eggs, add a little salt, drop into boiling soup or water a spoonful at a time, cover and boil 6 minutes without lifting the cover.
