Honey Biscuits

Place in a basin half a pound each of cornmeal and honey, two tablespoonfuls of candied orange flowers and half a tablespoonful of pounded coriander seeds. Mix these well until they form a stiff paste, divide into proportions, roll them into balls, then with a rolling-pin roll out to thin oval shapes and dock. Butter a baking-tin, dredge flour over it, lay the biscuits on the tin a short distance from each other, and bake in a slow oven. When cooked leave them until cold and if to be kept put them into tin canisters.
