Rock Biscuits

Put the whites of three eggs into a pan, and stir them together with a whisk till they break. Cut some blanched, but not dried, sweet almonds into long thin slices, and put them, with an ounce of candied orange-peel cut small, and one ounce of finely-powdered loaf sugar, to the eggs; mix all well up together with a spoon, adding more almonds and sugar to make the preparation hang together if required. Put white wafer-paper on your iron plates, and lay the mixture on it in biscuits about the size of a half-crown piece, but piled about an inch to an inch and a half high. Bake them, in a slack oven, of a nice light colour.
