# Beat the egg whites until fluffy, and beat in enough flour to make a slightly thick batter.

# Drop a ladle-full of the batter into the hot pan and cook as you do with pancakes, cooking both sides. Be careful that they stay as white as possible, as with crepes.

Four legged, pinkish mammal, that goes 'oink'. In [[period]] was considered pig food.

Some period cultures had a taboo against eating meat from pigs. This is because of the virus and bacteria that pigs can carry.

If you trust the Simpsons then a pig is "a magical beast that produces [[bacon]], [[ham]], and [[pork chops]]" (mmmm, porkchops)

'''Blackwork''' involves the use of black thread on a white background fabric. Although black was the most popular colour, examples using other colours, including red, blue and purple, survive.

== Background ==

Blackwork became popular in [[England]] during the reign of [[Henry VIII]], and the style is often called Spanishe Worke, a name given to it due to its introduction to England being linked with the Henry's wife, [[Catherine of Aragon]].

During its most popular period of usage, three distinct styles of blackwork emerge, all of which co-existed together.

== Materials Used ==

The most common materials for working blackwork in 16the Century were black silk thread on a white linen ground. Many such examples survive today.

== Stitches and Techniques ==

* [[Holbein]] or double running stitch - used mostly for reversable blackwork, used on collars, cuffs and any items where both sides would be visible.
* [[Stem stitch]] - used as an outline stitch when doing free form and geometric blackwork.
* [[Braid]] or plaited stitches - used for making stems or adding texture to free form and geometric blackwork.
