Ingredients

  • one pound cocoanut
  • half pound white sugar
  • half pound powdered white sugar
  • one table- spoonful flour
  • five eggs
  • two together

Directions

1

One pound cocoanut, half pound white sugar, one table- spoonful flour. Grate the nut, mix the sugar and flour with it, work all well together. Make it out in little balls, place them on tins, bake in a quick oven. To prevent the cakes getting too brown on the under side place several thicknesses of paper under them.

2

Half pound powdered white sugar, add whites of five eggs. Beat the eggs to a stiff froth, add sugar by degrees, then drop on white paper with a small spoon at least an inch apart; put this paper on a board or on many thicknesses of paper ; put them in a quick oven. Pass a knife under them, slip them off the paper, and put two together.
