Sugared Walnuts

Take off the skins of about three dozen walnuts, separate them into halves and mask them with an icing made of four ounces of sugar and an egg, Place them on a sheet of thick paper, stand them in the oven, and bake until of a light brown color. Take them out, remove them from the paper when cold, and they are then ready for use. The walnuts, after being skinned and divided into halves, should be dried at the oven door. Serve them piled on a glass dish. A delicious sweetmeat is made by dipping the kernels into thick chocolate and icing.
