thoroughly beat the whites of eggs stiff, measure one-half cup of milk,

and then add a little milk and flour alternately to the egg mixture,

one tablespoonful lemon juice and one tablespoonful boiling water or

enough to make the sugar into a paste that settles to a level the moment

you stop stirring. Spread at once on the hot cake.
