The Epicure's Almanac or Diary of Good Living
June 18th : SAVOY BISCUITS
Beat up half a dozen eggs, add three quarters of pound of finely powdered white sugar, and the same weight of sifted flour; mix these well together.
Lay thin paper upon iron plates, and place the batter, with a tea-spoon, about four inches long and one broad, keeping each separate; just before putting them into the oven, strew powdered sugar over them.
The paper, which will adhere to the backs of the biscuits, is easily removed, by the application of cold water on a soft brush .
