  1. Make the omelet by recipe No. 1459, only instead of doubling it over, leave it flat in the pan.
  2. When quite firm, and nicely brown on one side, turn it carefully on to a hot dish, spread over the middle of it the jam, and fold the omelet over on each side.
  3. Sprinkle sifted sugar over, and serve very quickly.
  4. A pretty dish of small omelets may be made by dividing the batter into 3 or 4 portions, and frying them separately; they should then be spread each one with a different kind of preserve, and the omelets rolled over.
  5. Always sprinkle sweet omelets with sifted sugar before being sent to table.
