Almond Croquantes

Blanch and pound half a pound of sweet almonds, with half a pound of sugar rubbed on the rind of half a lemon, and a glass of white wine. Add a quarter of a pound of butter and the yolks of four eggs. Mix all into a stiff paste, roll out, cut it into diamonds, stars, etc., and bake these in a quick oven. Dip them for a minute into boiling sugar, and let them drain until cool. Keep them in a dry place, and they will be useful to garnish any kind of sweet dish. Time, about half an hour. Probable cost, 1s. 10d.
