Weigh the weight of six eggs of sugar and three of flour, which put into
a basin with half a pound of sweet almonds chopped very fine, mix them
with six whole eggs and a teaspoonful of orange-flower-water; rub two or
three baking-sheets very lightly with very white wax, upon which drop
the mixture with a spoon into cakes the size of a penny piece; let it
spread, then lay some pistachios blanched and filleted upon them, place
in a warmish oven, and be very particular in baking, for if done too
much you will not be able to do anything with them, and if not done
enough they will not be crisp eating; directly they are done take them
from the oven, and with a thin knife take them off the baking-sheet,
curl them over the handle of a wooden spoon as quickly as possible, and
place in a screen for a short time to dry; in case your gauffres run out
of shape cut them out with an oval cutter or with the point of a knife
before putting them upon the spoon.
