Savoy Biscuits
INGREDIENTS for 2 dozen cakes.-6 oz. of flour, 6 oz. of sugar, 4 eggs, the rind of 1 lemon. AVERAGE COST, 7d.
Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs; beat the former well, add to them the sugar and grated lemon-rind, and beat for 15 minutes; then slowly dredge in the flour, and, after the whites have been whisked to a solid froth, add them, and beat for another 5 minutes. It is better for one person to beat the whites while another is blending the other ingredients. When ready, draw the cake in strips the length of a Savoy biscuit upon thick cartridge paper, and bake in a rather hot oven. They must be carefully watched, as they soon scorch, when their appearance is spoilt for using for Charlotte russe or other sweet fancy dishes.
