Steep, in a pint and a half of cream, three ounces of fine white bread crumbs. Pound into a paste half a pint of blanched almonds in a small quantity of orange flower water. Beat up the whites of four, and the yolks of eight eggs, with a quarter of a pound of lump sugar in powder. Mix these together with a quarter of a pound of butter melted. Stir well over a slow fire till the mixture is tolerably thick. Place puff paste at the bottom and round the sides of your dish, pour in the ingredients, and bake for half an hour.
