1 pint rich milk.
Whites of 4 eggs whipped stiff.
1 heaping cup prepared flour.
1 scant cup powdered sugar.
Grated peel of 1/2 lemon.
A little salt.
Whisk the eggs and sugar to a meringue, and add this alternately with the flour to the milk. (If you have cream, or half cream half milk, it is better.) Beat until the mixture is very light, and bake in but tered cups or tins. Turn out, sift powdered sugar over them, and eat with lemon sauce.
These are delicate in texture and taste, and pleasing to the eye.
