3 eggs
6 ounces of castor sugar
a few drops of essence of lemon
8 ounces of flour
Break the eggs into a basin.
Beat well with the sugar and essence of lemon for 1 / 4 of an hour.
Dredge in the flour gradually, and well but lightly mix.
Put the mixture into a savoy bag, lay the biscuits out on to a sheet of thick cartridge paper
and bake them in rather a hot oven.
Watch them carefully as they are soon done and a few seconds over the proper time will scorch and spoil them.
These biscuits or ladies' fingers as they are sometimes called are used for making Charlotte Russes and other
fancy sweet dishes.
Cooking time from 10 to 12 minutes
