6 eggs
dash of salt
4 tablespoons powdered sugar
6 tablespoons sherry wine

In a double boiler combine the eggs, sugar and salt, place over hot water and bet constantly for about 8 minutes.

Then gradually beat the sherry wine into the mixture, and when stiff enough to hold a spoon upright in the center, pour into tall glasses and serve either cold or hot.

Serves 6.
