One pound of sweet almonds, 1 pound and a quarter of sugar, 6 whites

of eggs, and the raspings of two lemons. Pound the almonds very fine

with 6 whites of eggs, feel the almonds, and if they are free from

lumps, they will do; then add the powdered sugar, and mix it well

with the lemon raspings. Dress them in wafer paper of the required

shape; bake them in a moderate heat, then let them stand till cold,

cut the wafer paper round them, but leave it on the bottoms.
