Ingredients
- a pound of powdered loaf sugar
- four eggs light
- three large heaping tablespoonfuls of flour
- lemon juice
Directions
Grate the rind from a large, fine lemon, add to it a quarter of a pound of powdered loaf sugar. Strain the juice of the lemon through a strainer. Beat four eggs light, stir the sugar in the eggs and beat well, then add the lemon juice and three large heaping tablespoonfuls of flour. It must be thick enough to form into balls ; if not, add flour until it will. Moisten your hands with cold water and form the paste into balls the size of a plum, lay them on buttered papers and bake without browning. You will be obliged to try one to see if it is done. As soon as done remove them from the paper with a knife. Orange macaroons can be made in the same way, using the rind of half an orange and the juice of one.
