Cornet Paste is also very nice for this purpose: Mix to a paste 4oz. finely minced almonds, 2oz. fine sifted flour, 2oz. caster sugar, a large whole egg, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoonful of orange flower water. Have ready some baking tins which have been well heated in the oven, then carefully rubbed all over with white wax, and allowed to cool; spread the paste over these very evenly to about the thickness of a tenth of an inch, and bake for three or four minutes; then stamp out very quickly, and use like the nougat.
