3 eggs. 1 cupful of butter or lard. 2 cupfuls of sugar. 6 cupfuls of sifted flour. 1 nutmeg. 1 teaspoonful of soda. 2 teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, sifted with the flour.
Cream the butter with one cup of the sugar, beat the eggs separately and put into the yolks the remaining cup of sugar; add this to the butter, and put in whites and flour last. Roll thin and bake quickly.--Mrs. F. F. F.
