Maccaroons Take a pd of Almonds blanch & beat them with a little rose water, to keep them from oiling - put to them the same quantity of loaf sugar, sifted. Then bet the whites of seven eggs to a froth, & put them in & beat the whole together. Drop them on buttered paper, grate a little mace or nutmeg & sift sugar over them.
