WAFER BISCUITS (another way)

Mix thoroughly two ounces of sifted sugar with two ounces of fine flour. Add a drop of oil of cinnamon and a drop of oil of cloves, or if preferred a little grated nutmeg, and the well-whisked whites of two eggs. Make the mixture into a thin liquid paste. Butter some tinned baking-sheets; put on these, four inches apart, portions of the batter, the size of a walnut, and with the finger spread them into rounds the size of the top of a tumbler, and almost touching each other. Bake in a brisk oven till they are lightly browned. Take them up when soft, and either roll them upon a round piece of wood or turn them to the shape of buns. Serve with custards or ices. Time to bake the wafers, three or four minutes.
