7 ounces granulated sugar - 1 cup.

4 eggs.

3 tablespoons water.

6 ounces flour - 1 heaping cup.

1 ounce sugar to dredge.

Separate the eggs, the whites in a bowl, the yolks in the mixing pan. Put the sugar to the yolks and stir up, then add the water and beat with a bunch of wire 10 minutes. Have the flour ready. Whip the whites with the wire egg whisk till they are firm enough to bear up an egg. Mix the flour in the yolks and stir in the white of eggs last.

Put the batter into a large paper cornet with the point clipped off", or into a lady-finger sack and tube, and press out finger lengths in regular order on a sheet of manilla paper. When the sheet is full dredge fine sugar over, catch up two corners of the sheet and shake off the surplus, and lay it on a baking-pan. Bake a light yellow-brown in about 6 minutes. Take off by wetting the paper under side and stick the two cakes together while they are still moist.

Cost of material 14c; number of cakes 6 dozen pairs, weight 18 oz.
