MACAROONS.
Half a pound of sweet almonds, half a pound of fine white sugar, the whites of two eggs. Blanch the almonds, and pound them to a paste ; add to them the sugar and the eggs, after they have been beaten to a froth. Work the whole well together with the back of a spoon ; then roll the preparation in your hands in balls about the size of a nutmeg; lay them on a sheet of paper, at least an inch apart. Bake them in a cool oven, a light brown.
Half a pound of powdered white sugar, the whites of five eggs. Beat the eggs to a stiff froth ; add the sugar by de- grees until it is all in ; then place the mixture on white paper with a tea-spoon, in the shape required, and take care to have them at least an inch apart; if they should touch their shape would be spoiled. Put the paper on which the kisses have been placed on a board, or on many thicknesses of paper, in order to keep the heat from drying the half next the white paper ; put them in a quick oven, and as soon as they become a little discolored take them out, slip a knife under them, take them off the paper, put two together, and let them cool. — Mrs. M. T. Furndl.
