Ingredients:

2 eggs​
2 tbsp. flour​
2 oz. warm butter​
2 oz. grated cheese​

Instructions:

Beat up well two eggs, and add two tablespoonfuls of flour, two ounces of warm butter, and two ounces of grated cheese. Mix all these well together, and bake them for quarter of an hour in small boxes made of writing paper. They should be served hot in the paper boxes, and eaten after the game course. They require care in the preparation.​


"Ramakins" comes from a word that meant toasted or baked cheese. It can also refer to the small individual dish (here the box) in which the cheese preparation is served.
