ORANGE CHEESECAKES (another way)

Rub the rind of a Seville orange with two or three lumps of sugar until all the yellow part is taken off. Crush the sugar to powder, and put it into a saucepan with three table-spoonfuls of new milk and a quarter of a pound of fresh butter. Stir all over the fire until the butter is dissolved, then pour the liquid over four ounces of sponge biscuits. Beat them well with a fork, and add three ounces of sugar, half a salt-spoonful of nutmeg grated, a table-spoonful of brandy, and three eggs well-beaten. Mix thoroughly. Line some patty-pans with good puff-paste, half fill them with the mixture, and bake in a quick oven for a quarter of an hour. Probable cost, 1s. 4d. Sufficient for half a dozen cheesecakes.
