and half a pint of good yeast, and a table-spoonful of salt; work it very hard
until it is smooth and light. Bake in a brisk heat.
NAPLES BISCUIT.
To six ounces of moist sugar, add six ounces of white, a tea-cupful of water,
beat the yolks and whites of twelve eggs together, just enough to break them.
Put the sugar in a saucepan, and put it on the fire; take it off before it comes
to a boil, put the eggs in, and stir till cold; have your tins ready, fill
nearly full of the batter, sugar over the tops, bake quickly.
RATAFIAS.
Take three ounces of sweet almonds, boil and skin them, put them in a mortar
with a pound of loaf sugar and the whites of two eggs; beat it all together
well, drop them out upon coarse, white paper. Have them all the same size, about
an inch apart; bake on tins; when cold, take them off the paper.
