1 lb. sugar.
½ lb. butter.
1 lb. flour.
Yolks of ten eggs—well beaten.
Grated rind of one orange, and juice of two lemons.
1 teaspoonful soda dissolved in hot water.
Cream the butter and sugar, and stir in the yolks. Beat very hard for
five minutes before putting in the flour. The soda next, and lastly the
lemon-juice, in which the grated orange-peel should have been steeped
and strained out in a piece of thin muslin, leaving the flavoring and
coloring matter in the juice.
Flavor the icing also with lemon.
