Mix into a pound of fine flour, a pound of loaf sugar beat and sifted, then rub into it a pound of pure fresh butter, till it is thick like grated white bread, then put to it two spoonfuls of rose water, two of sack, ten eggs, whip them very well with a whisk, then mix into it eight ounces of currants, mix'd all well together, butter the tin pans, fill them but half full, and bake them; if made without currants, they'll keep half a year; add a pound of almonds blanched, and beat with rose-water as above, and leave out the flour. These are another sort and better.
