Lady Fingers

Beat the yolks of four eggs with a quarter of a pound of sugar until smooth and light; whisk the whites of the eggs and add to these, and sift in a quarter of a pound of flour. Make into a smooth paste, and lay it on buttered paper, in the size and shape the cakes are required. Bake quickly. While hot, press two of the cakes into one on the flat side.
