Put half a pound of powdered sugar into a basin, with the yolks of six
eggs, beat them well together with a wooden spoon, melt two ounces of
fresh butter, which add to the mixture, with six ounces of flour and the
whites of the six eggs beat very stiff, stir it till well mixed, but not
more than is required, butter a sauté-pan lightly, put some finely
powdered sugar into it, shake all over the pan and turn out that which
does not adhere to the butter, pour in the mixture, have a quarter of a
pound of sweet almonds cut into thin fillets, lay them upon the top and
sift sugar over, bake in a moderate oven of a light brown colour; when
done take it out of the sauté-pan, and when cold cut it in pieces of a
diamond shape three inches in length and two in breadth and serve
dressed in pyramid.
