1 pound of powdered sugar

6 eggs, beaten very light.

1/2 pound of almonds, blanched and pounded.

1/2 pound of prepared flour.

Rose-water, mixed with the almond-paste.

Whip up the whites of the eggs to a meringue with half the sugar; stir in the almond-paste. Beat the . yolks ten minutes with the remainder of the sugar.

Mix all together, and add the flour lightly and rapidly.

Bake in well-buttered pate'-pans, or other small tins, very quickly. Turn out as soon as done upon a baking-pan, bottom uppermost, that these may dry out.
