Paste for Borders

Put into a bowl the yolks of six or eight eggs, a few drops of water and a little salt, and mix in flour till it is so stiff that it can hardly be worked. Beat and work it till quite smooth, and keep it moist until required; roll it out quite thin, cut it in the desired shapes, and then place them on the dish before they get too dry. Brush over with the white of egg.
