(Very Rich).

One pound of butter washed in rose-water if you want it very nice; beat it to a cream with the yolks of eight eggs and a pound of sugar, add a glass of wine and one of brandy, with a tablespoonful of rose-water unless the butter was washed in it. When very creamy, stir in a pound of sifted flour, and the whites of eight eggs, beaten to a firm froth.

Bake in a tin lined with buttered paper; it requires a steady slow oven and will take an hour and a half; cover for the first hour.
