Original Text
To make Fairy Butter. TAKE the yolks of two hard eggs, and beat them in a mar- ble mortar, with a large spoonful of orange-flower water, and two tea spoonsfuls of fine sugar beat to powder; beat this all together till it is fine paste, then mix it up with about as much fresh butter out of the churn, and force it through a fine strain- er full of little holes into a plate. This is a pretty thing to set off a table at supper.
