Paste For Very Small Tartlets Recipe

Take an egg or more, and mix it with some flour; make a little ball as

big as a tea-cup; work it with your hands till it is quite hard and

stiff; then break off a little at a time as you want it, keeping the

rest of the ball under cover of a basin, for fear of its hardening or

drying too much. Roll it out extremely thin; cut it out, and make it up

in what shape you please, and harden them by the fire, or in an oven in

a manner cold. It does for almonds or cocoa-nut boiled up in syrup rich,

or any thing that is a dry mixture, or does not want baking.
