Lemon Wafers

Beat two eggs and mix with them three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and flour, the juice of one and the grated peel of half a lemon. Stir the above to mix well, then spread it in small thin cakes on a buttered baking-sheet, place them in a slow oven and bake until slightly colored. When cooked take the cakes out of the oven, roll them, one at a time, round the handle of a wooden spoon, and serve.
