Gingerbread, Nuremburg

Beat the whites and yolks of eight eggs together with one pound of finely-sifted sugar for half an hour. Mix with this the peel of a lemon cut very thin and minced fine, and a table-spoonful of ground spices in the proportion of two parts of cinnamon and one part each of cloves and cardamoms, also a table-spoonful of finely-cut candied orange-peel, half a pound of blanched and roasted almonds sliced small, and one pound of fine dry flour. Mix all thoroughly together, and form into cakes about eight inches long by four inches wide and two inches thick; spread them on wafer paper, and bake in a quick oven. Probable cost, 2s.
