Cinnamon Cakes

Work well together two pounds of flour, one pound of sugar and one pound of butter; beat the yolks of three and the whites of six eggs with a little rosewater and make all into a dough, reserving only a small quantity of the eggs. Form the dough into cakes, brush them over with the egg, sprinkle over a little cinnamon, sugar and chopped blanched almonds. Butter some baking-sheets, lay the cakes on, and bake in a slow oven.
