Take the Lean of a Leg of Veal, and cut out the Sinews, mince it very
small, and with it some fat of Beef suet; if the Leg of Veal be of a Cow
Calfe, the Udder will be good instead of Beef suet; when it is very well
beaten together with the mincing Knife, have some Cloves, Mace, and
Pepper beaten, and with Salt season your meat, putting in some Vinegar,
then make up your meat into little Balls, and having very good strong
Broth made of Mutton, set your Balls to boyle in it; when they are
boyled enough, take the yolks of five or six Eggs well beaten with as
much Vinegar as you please to like, and some of the Broth mingled
together, stir it into all your Balls and Broth, give it a waume on the
fire, then Dish up the Balls upon Sippits and pour the sauce on it.

Almonds, beat them very well, putting in sometime Rosewater to keepe
