Sliced Turneps also very thin, in some Vinegar, Pepper and a little
Salt, do make a very good Sallad, but they will keep but six Weeks.
42. _To make Sugar Cakes._
Take a pound of fine Sugar beaten and searced, with four Ounces of the
finest Flower, put to it one pound of Butter well washed with
Rose-water, and work them well together, then take the Yolks of four
Eggs, and beat them with four Spoonfuls of Rosewater, in which hath been
steeped two or three days before Nutmeg and Cinamon, then put thereto so
much Cream as will make it knead to a stiff Paste, rowl it into thin
Cakes, and prick them, and lay them on Plates, and bake them; you shall
not need to butter your Plates, for they will slip off of themselves,
when they are cold.
43. _To make a very fine Cream._
Take a quart of Cream, and put to it some Rosewater and Sugar, some
large Mace, Cinamon and Cloves; boil it together for a quarter of an
hour, then take the yolks of eight Eggs, beat them together with some
of your Cream, then put them into the Cream which is boiling, keep it
stirring lest it curdle, take it from the fire, and keep it stirring
till it be a little cold, then run it through a Strainer, dish it up,
and let it stand one night, the next day it will be as stiff as a
Custard, then stick it with blanched Almonds, Citron Pill and Eringo
roots, and so serve it in.
