CHEESECAKES.
THE shorter time any cheesecakes are made, before
put into the oven, the better; but more particu-
larly almond, or lemon cheesecakes, as standing long
will make them grow oily, and give them a disagreeable
appearance. Particular attention must likewise be paid
to the heat of the oven, which must be moderate; for
if it is too hot, they will be scorched, and consequently
their beauty spoiled; and, if too slack, they will look
black and heavy.
