Instructions
- 1
Shave off _very thin_ slices of smoked or dried beef, put them in a frying pan, cover with cold water, set it on the back of the range or stove, and let it come to a very slow heat, allowing it time to swell out to its natural size, but not to boil.

Stir it up, then drain off the water.
- 3
Melt one ounce of sweet butter in the frying pan and add the wafers of beef.

When they begin to frizzle or turn up, break over them three eggs; stir until the eggs are cooked; add a little white pepper, and serve on slices of buttered toast.
