Brioches, Vanilla

Place four egg yolks in a bowl with two ounces fine sugar and briskly whisk with a wire whisk six minutes, then add the whites of the four eggs beaten to a stiff froth, one and a half ounces flour and a teaspoon vanilla essence. Place mixture in a pastry bag, with a quarter-inch tube at bottom and carefully press the preparation into a lightly buttered and floured pastry pan in twelve even round forms. Set pan in a brisk oven for twelve minutes, remove and let cool off. Detach cakes from pan, lay them upside down on a table, then with the blade of a knife spread a little strawberry jelly over each flat side and fasten two by two. Neatly trim to even size and arrange on a small iron grating with a pan underneath. Spread a glace vanilla over them, place half a candied cherry on top of each and serve.
