Original Text
TAKE two spoonfuls of cream, two of sugar, the same of flour, and one spoonful of orange-flower water, beat them well together for half an hour, then make your wafer tongs hot, and pour a little of your batter in to cover your irons, bake them on a stove fire, as they are baked roll them round a stick like a figgot, as soon as they are cool they will be very crisp; they are proper for tea, or to put upon a salver to eat with jellies.
