Naples Biscuits.

I find it very difficult to know

Burnt claret first or Naples biscuit gave.

Put three quarters of a pound of fine flour to a pound of powdered
sugar; sift both together three times; then add six eggs beaten well,
and a spoonful of rose-water; when the oven is nearly hot, bake them.
