MACAROONS.—Macarons Aimes.—Blanch and pound ½lb. of sweet almonds, moistening as you pound with a few drops of egg white to prevent oiling; then add to this 9oz. or 10oz. of fine rice flour, and about 1lb. of fine sifted sugar, working it all well and lightly together with a delicately clean spoon, adding the finely-grated rind of a small lemon and a little essence of vanilla. Now beat it all lightly for five minutes, then add the whites of four stiffly-whipped eggs, and drop this in little heaps the size of a florin on to papered baking sheets; make a little hollow in the centre of each with your finger, drop in this a little bright coloured jelly or marmalade, brush over with a drop or two
