er the upper side with the
white of an egg; roll up the pieces, pressing the paste lightly together
where it joins; place the rolls on a baking-sheet, and bake for about
1/4 hour. A few minutes before they are done, brush them over with the
white of an egg; strew over sifted sugar, put them back in the oven; and
when the icing is firm and of a pale brown colour, they are done. Place
a strip of jelly or preserve across each roll, dish them high on a
napkin, and serve cold.

_Time_.--1/4 hour before being iced; 5 to 10 minutes after.

_Average cost_, 1s. 3d.

_Sufficient_.--1/2 lb. of puff-paste for 2 dishes.

_Seasonable_ at any time.

PASTRY SANDWICHES.

1318. INGREDIENTS.--Puff-paste, jam of any kind, the white of an egg,
sifted sugar.

_Mode_.--Roll the paste out thin; put half of it on a baking-sheet or
tin, and spread equally over it apricot, greengage, or any preserve that
may be preferred. Lay over this preserve another thin paste; press the
edges together all round; and mark the paste in lines with a knife on
the surface, to show where to cut it when baked. Bake from 20 minutes to
1/2 hour; and, a short time before being done, take the pastry out of
the oven, brush it over with the white of an egg, sift over pounded
sugar, and put it back in the oven to colour. When cold, cut it into
strips; pile these on a dish pyramidically, and serve. These strips, cut
about 2 inches long, piled in circular rows, and a plateful of flavoured
whipped cream poured in the middle, make a very pretty dish.

_Time_.--20 minutes to 1 hour. _Average cost_, with 1/2 lb. of paste,
1s.

_Sufficient_.--1/2 lb. of paste will make 2 dishes of sandwiches.

_Seasonable_ at any time.

white of the egg. Roll some puff-paste out; cut it in any shape that may
be preferred, such as diamonds, rings, ovals, &c., and spread the above
mixture over the paste. Bake the bouchees in an oven, not too hot, and
serve cold.

_Time_.--1/4 hour, or rather more. _Average cost_, 1s.
