flour to make a soft dough; roll it in rings, and bake as
other jumbles.

Macaroons.

Blanch a pound of almonds, beat them in a mortar,
and put with them a little rose water to keep them from
oiling, and the white of an egg; roll a pound of loaf
sugar, and beat the whites of four eggs; beat them all
together; shape them on white paper with a spoon, and
bake them on tin plates in a slow oven; let them be
quite cold before you remove them from the paper.

Bunns.

Take a pound and a quarter of flour, half a pound of
butter, and three-quarters of a pound of sugar, six eggs,
half a pound of currants, half a nutmeg, a glass of
brandy, and a pint of new milk; mix all well together,
and put in half a tea-cup of yeast; let it rise, and when
light, bake it in shallow pans.

Naples Biscuit.

Beat twelve eggs till light; add to them a pound of
flour and one of powdered sugar; beat all together till
perfectly light; put in some rose water and nutmeg, and
bake it in small shallow pans in a moderately heated
oven.

New Year Cake.

Mix together three pounds of flour, a pound and a half
of sugar, and three-quarters of a pound of butter; dis-
solve a tea-spoonful of salaeratus in enough new milk to
wet the flour; mix them together; grate in a nutmeg,
or the peel of a lemon; roll them out; cut them in
shapes, and bake.
