Almond Puff

Blanch two ounces of sweet almonds, and beat them fine, with orange-flour-water ; whisk the whites of three eggs to a froth, strew in sifted sugar, mix the almonds with the sugar and eggs, and add sugar till as thick as paste: lay it in cakes, and bake it on paper in a cool oven.

Chocolate Puff

Beat and sift half a pound of double-refined sugar; scrape into it an ounce of chocolate very fine, and mix them together ; beat the white of an egg to a high froth, and strew into the sugar and chocolate ; beat it till as stiff as paste; then sugar the paper, drop them on the size of a sixpence, and bake them in a slow oven.

Curd Puff

Mix a little rennet in a quart of new milk; when the curd comes, and is broken, put it into a coarse cloth to drain ; rub the curd through a hair-sieve with a spoon, and ten ounces of grated savoy biscuit, three ounces of butter, half a grated nutmeg, the grated rind of a lemon, a table-spoonful of white wine, and sugar to your taste: rub the cups with butter, rather more than half fill them, and hake them forty minutes in a quick oven.

Lemon Puff

Bruise a pound of double-refined sugar, and sift it through a line sieve; put it into a bowl, with the juice of two lemons, and mix them together; beat the white of an egg to a very high froth, put it into your bowl; put in three eggs, with two rinds of lemons grated: mix it well up, and throw sugar on your paper; drop on the puffs in small drops, and bake them in a moderately heated oven.

Orange Puff

Pare off the rinds from Seville oranges, and then rub them with salt; let them lie four and twenty hours in water; boil them in four changes of water; make the first salt; drain, and beat them to a pulp; bruise in the pieces of all that you have pared ; make it very sweet with loaf-sugar, and boil it till thick; let it stand till cold, and then put it into the paste.

M. Sugar Puff

Beat up the whites of ten eggs till they rise to a high froth; then put them into a marble mortar, with as much double-refined sugar as will make it thick ; rub it well round the mortar, and put in a few carraway-seeds ; take a sheet of waters, and lay it on as broad as a sixpence, and as high as you can : put them into a moderately heated oven for a quarter of an hour, and they will look quite white.
