Lemon-Flavored Crackers

Mix one and a quarter pounds of butter with about thirteen pounds of flour, make a bay, and stir in two and one-fourth pounds of sugar, one ounce of ammonia, one-fourth ounce of essence of lemon, and three pints of water. Work well together, roll out the paste, cut it into small rounds, put them on a baking-sheet, and bake in a moderate oven. Remove when done, and use when cold. The quantity given is useful for confectioners.
