Almond Faggots

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Roll out the Rout Cake paste moderately thin.

  2. Cut into bands two inches wide, then cut these into strips.

  3. Fold a few strips together to resemble a faggot of wood.

  4. Place one strip around the center to form the tie.

  5. Dust square pieces of cartridge paper with sugar and place the faggots on them.

  6. Let them sit until the next day, then bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C).
