Macaroons Flavored

Beat the yolks of four eggs light together with one pound of powdered white sugar and whisk the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth. Beat into the beaten eggs and sugar the grated peel of one lemon and half a teaspoonful of grated nutmet. Mix in lastly and in small quantities the frothed whites and six ounces of flour. Roll the mixture into small balls, rub over with butter, lay them on a buttered-paper leaving a space between each, and bake in a hot oven.
