Ingredients
- half pound of honey
- a pound of white sugar
- one wine glass of orange flower water
- three eggs
Directions
Twenty ounces of almonds (blanched), half a pound of white sugar, half pound of honey, one wine glass of orange flower water, whites of three eggs. After the sugar has boiled pour in the honey and orange water, well stirred ; add this by degrees to the well whipped eggs, which must be ready in a large bowl, stirring quickly until it forms a paste, which consistency may be tested by putting a spoonful in cold water, when it should snap and break. Stir the almonds in the paste, and spread out on wafer paper, a sheet also laid on the top, some clean letter paper laid over this and the whole pressed down flat by a tin or baking plate and left to cool, after which cut into slabs of two inches square and put away until cold.
