It will be well to try two or three first, and if you find them likely
to lose their shape and run info each other, you may omit the papers
and make the mixture up into little balls with your hands well floured;
baking them in shallow tin pans slightly buttered.
You may make maccaroons with icing that is left from a cake.
COCOA-NUT MACCAROONS.
Beat to a stiff froth the whites of six eggs, and then beat into it
very hard a pound of powdered loaf-sugar. Mix with it a pound of grated
cocoa-nut, or sufficient to make a stiff paste. Then flour your hands,
and make it up into little balls. Lay them on sheets of buttered white
paper, and bake them in a brisk oven; first grating loaf-sugar over
each. They will be done in a few minutes. Maccaroons may be made in a
similar manner of pounded cream-nuts, ground-nuts, filberts, or English
walnuts.
WHITE COCOA-NUT CAKES.
Break up a cocoa-nut; peel and wash the pieces in cold water, and grate
them. Mix in the milk of the nut and some powdered loaf-sugar and then
form the grated cocoa-nut into little balls upon sheets of white paper.
Make them all of a regular and handsome form, and touch the top of each
with a spot of red sugar-sand. Do not bake them, but place them to dry
for twenty-four hours, in a warm room where nothing is likely to
disturb the them.
COCOA-NUT JUMBLES.
Grate a large cocoa-nut. Rub half a pound of butter into a pound of
sifted flour, and wet it with, three beaten eggs, and a little rose
water. Add by degrees the cocoa-nut, so as to form a stiff dough. Flour
your hands and your paste-hoard, and dividing the dough into equal
portions, make the jumbles with your hands into long rolls, and then
curl them round and join the ends so as to form rings. Grate loaf-sugar
over them, lay them in buttered pans, (not so near as to run into each
other,) and bake them in a quick oven from five to ten minutes.
COMMON JUMBLES.
Sift a pound of flour into a large pan. Cut up a pound of butter into a
pound of powdered white sugar, and stir them to a cream. Beat six eggs
till very light, and then pour them all at once into the pan of flour;
next add the butter and sugar, with a large table-spoonful of mixed
mace and cinnamon, two grated nutmegs, and a tea-spoonful of essence of
lemon or a wine glass of rose water. When all the ingredients are in,
stir the mixture very hard with a broad knife. Having floured your
hands and spread some flour on the paste-board, make the dough into
long rolls, (all of equal size,) and form them into rings by joining
the two ends very nicely. Lay them on buttered tins, and bake them in a
quick oven from five to ten minutes. Grate sugar over them when cool.
