German Cakes

Beat three-quarters of a pound of butter to a cream. Mix with it one pound and a half of sugar, four eggs--well beaten--two pounds of fine flour, half a nutmeg grated, one pound of dried and picked currants, and half a wine-glassful of rose-water. When all these ingredients are well-blended, roll the dough into sheets about the eighth of an inch in thickness, stamp them in rounds with the top of a tea-cup, and bake in a quick oven. Time, to bake ten or fifteen minutes. Probable cost, 1s. 10d.
