Margaret Cornets
Cornets à la Marguerite
Prepare some cornets as below, and just before serving fill them partly with ginger ice-water (‘ Book of Ices,’ p. 26) and partly with apple ice-cream (‘ Book of Ices,’ p. 9) frozen quite dry, and dish them up on a paper or napkin. Serve for a dinner sweet or for dessert.
CORNET CASES.—Mix well together half a pound of finely-chopped or ground almonds with four ounces of castor sugar, and four ounces of fine flour, two whole eggs, a saltspoonful of vanilla essence, and one tablespoonful of orange-flower water.
Put one or two baking tins into the oven, and when they are quite hot rub them over with white wax, and let the tins get cool; then spread the paste smoothly and thinly over the tins (say one-tenth of an inch thick),bake in the oven for three or four minutes; take out the tins and quickly stamp out the paste with a plain round cutter, about five inches in diameter, and immediately wrap these rounds of paste on the outside of the cornet
