Orange Biscuits

Beat four ounces of fresh butter to a cream. Rub the rinds of two Seville oranges with a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar, until the yellow part is all taken off. Crush the sugar to powder, and mix it with the butter; add a small pinch of salt, four ounces of dried flour, the well-beaten yolks of four eggs, two ounces of candied orange-peel, cut into thin shreds, and lastly the whites of the eggs beaten to a firm froth. Pour the mixture into small buttered moulds, sift powdered sugar over the biscuits, and bake in a slow oven for about ten minutes. Probable cost, 1s. 3d.
