Curd Cheesecakes

Turn one quart of milk with a little rennet; drain off the whey, and mix with the curd a piece of butter the size of a large egg, beaten to a cream; press it through a coarse sieve, and mix with it a heaped table-spoonful of pounded loaf sugar, the peel of a lemon finely shredded, two table-spoonfuls of currants, two well-beaten eggs, and a dozen sweet and two bitter almonds, blanched and pounded. Line some patty-pans with a good crust, three parts fill them with the mixture, and bake in a good oven. Time to bake, about twenty minutes. Probable cost, 1d. each. Sufficient, a dozen for a dish.
