GENEVA WAFERS (a pretty dish for a juvenile party)

Rub a quarter of a pound of fresh butter to a cream, and mix with it, very smoothly, a quarter of a pound of flour, and three eggs, thoroughly whisked. Add three drops of the essence of vanilla, and three table-spoonfuls of pounded sugar. Beat with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, then drop a dessert-spoonful at a time on a well-buttered baking-sheet, and put the wafers in a moderate oven. When sufficiently baked, take them out of the oven, twist them very carefully, or they will break, to the shape of small cornucopiae, and put them in the oven a minute or two longer to get crisp. Half fill them with jam, and put a little whipped cream on the jam. The cream put in half of them might be slightly coloured with cochineal. Time, a quarter of an hour, or less, to bake. Probable cost, 9d. Sufficient for a good-sized dish.
