1 cup powdered sugar. 3 yolks of eggs. 3 whites of eggs. 2 tablespoonfuls of cream. 1 cup of raisins. 1 cup hickory nuts.

Beat the 3 yolks and 1 white, adding 1 cup of powdered sugar gradually, then 2 tablespoonfuls of cream, 1 cup chopped raisins and 1 cup finely chopped hickory nut meats. Line gem tins with pastry, rolled thin, fill 1/2 full with the mixture, bake about 30 minutes, and when done cover with meringue made with 2 whites and 4 level tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar beaten stiff. Brown lightly.

The pastry may be cut in squares, 1 tablespoonful of mixture put in the center, the edges wet slightly to make them stick and folded over to form triangles. Omit the meringue in this case.
