Take two ounces of sweet almonds and half an ounce of bitter, peel, and pound them as for No. 1207. Then put them in a vessel with eight ounces of powdered sugar. Add the yolks of five eggs, and beat the preparation thoroughly for five minutes; then separately beat the whites to a froth with a pastry wire whip, and mix in with the yolks and sugar, adding also one ounce of flour. Stir thoroughly with a wooden spatula until perfectly firm, which will require about five minutes. It is now ready. Have six paper boxes, any shape desired, and fill them with the preparation, using a tablespoon for the purpose. Sprinkle the tops with a little finely powdered sugar, arrange them in a pastry baking-pan, and put in a slow oven for fifteen minutes ; they must get a good golden color. Remove, and when cooled off, dress nicely on a dish, and serve.
