Genoese Pastry

Ingredients:
Eggs, sugar, butter, flour, almonds, orange or lemon,
brandy.
weigh four eggs, and take equal weights of castor sugar, butter,
and flour. Pound three ounces of almonds, and mix them with an
egg, melt the butter, and mix all the ingredients with a wooden
spoon in a pudding basin for ten minutes, then add a little scraped
orange or lemon peel, and a dessert-spoonful of brandy. Spread out
the paste in thin layers on a copper baking sheet, cover them with
buttered paper, and bake in a moderately hot oven.
These cakes must be cut into shapes when they are hot, as otherwise
they will break.
