Cream Paste Flavored with Coffee

Roast six ounces of coffee, when it becomes oily put it into a saucepan with three breakfast cupfuls of boiling milk, cover over the pan, let it stand until nearly cold, and strain through a cloth. A small quantity of this should now be mixed with the yolks of six eggs and two tablespoonfuls of flour with a little salt in it, the whole put into a saucepan, and boiled slowly until it is such a consistence that it adheres to the spoon while being cooked. Add three ounces of butter slightly colored in a saucepan, also a quarter of a pound of loaf-sugar and the same quantity of powdered macaroons, stirring the whole until smooth and compact.
