ALMOND TEA-CAKES

Take half-a-pound of flour, 

three ounces of which are to 

be put aside for rolling out the 

cakes, the other five ounces, 

with a quarter of a pound of 

fresh butter, are to be set before 

the fire for a few minutes; 

after which mix with it 

half a pound of sugar, 

a quarter of a pound of sweet almonds, 

chopped fine, and a couple of eggs; 

make these ingredients into thin cakes, 

and strew over them ground almonds 

and white sugar, and bake in a brisk oven.
