the rind of one, stir together the yolks of three eggs and white of one
with the sugar, butter, juice and rind, then one (coffee) cup of sweet
cream or milk, beat all for a minute or two; have ready a plate lined
with paste, into which pour the mixture which will be sufficient for two

the remaining whites to a stiff froth and stir in four spoonfuls of
