Lemon Patties

Rub the rind of a fresh lemon with three ounces of loaf sugar. Crush it to powder, and mix it with the finely-grated crumb of a penny loaf. Pour over the mixture a quarter of a pint of boiling milk, and soak for half an hour. At the end of that time stir in two ounces of clarified butter and two well-beaten eggs. Butter some small cups, rather more than half fill them with the mixture, and bake in a moderate oven for twenty minutes. When done, turn the patties out on a hot dish, and send wine sauce to table with them. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for half a dozen patties.
