Des œufs à la falconner , sont des œufs frais dont on prend le jaûnequc
l'on délaye dans un plat, & on y mêle du sucre , à la proportion d'une
once pour deux œufs , un peu d'eau de fleur d'orange & d'ambre préparé ,
le tout étant bien mélé ensemble, on le met sur un petit seu, pour
former (sormer?) de petites boules de la froffeur d'un jaûne d'{oe}uf,
puis on v~erfe da sucre au caramel sur châcune de ces boules.
which my non-existent french (with a little help from free translation
software) says is something about "take fresh eggs, take the jaunequc
(yolk?), and take sugar about 1 oz to every two egs, and orange flower
water and some prepared "d'ambre", then mix it all together, and form
little balls like the yolks? of eggs, and then.. well that's beyond either
my or the translation programs poor abilities...
Hope this is what you were looking for...
toodles, margaret
