Queen or Drops.—Cream together 1lb. each of butter and sugar, then work to this (two or three eggs at a time) fourteen eggs, working each lot well in before adding the next (if too many are added together the mixture is liable to thin suddenly and to curdle in the beating up, a remark that applies to most cake mixing); now sift into this 1lb. of fine flour and 4oz. well washed and dried currants. When this is thoroughly mixed drop it on to board spread with clean, strong paper in tiny heaps the size of a penny, and bake in a hot oven.
