Vanilla Cheesecakes

Melt three ounces of butter, and stir in two and a half ounces of loaf sugar, which has been rubbed on half a lemon and crushed. Stir till the sugar is melted and the mixture thick, then pour it by degrees to three beaten and strained eggs, beating hard all the time. Flavour when cold with half an ounce of vanilla sugar, a teaspoonful of vanilla essence, and a table-spoonful of brandy. Line some patty-pans with good paste, either short or flaky, put a little raspberry or red current jelly in first, and then fill up with the above mixture. Bake in a moderate oven. Probable cost, 2d. each.
