boiling water, being careful not to soak them. Put these on a
hot platter in the oven. Put the milk in a saucepan over the fire,
being careful not to have one that is too hot, only moderate,
and when it boils up put in the cheese and stir without stopping,
until the cheese all melts and it looks smooth. Then put in the
beaten yolks of the eggs and the seasoning, and pour at once over
the toast and serve very hot. Many people like a saltspoonful of
dry mustard mixed in with the pepper. You can also serve this rarebit
on toasted and buttered crackers.
