Lent Potatoes
Beat three or four ounces of almonds, and three or four bitter, when blanched, putting a little orange flower water to prevent oiling: add eight ounces of butter, four eggs well beaten and strained, half a glass of raisin wine, and sugar to your taste. Beat all well till quite smooth, and grate in three Savoy biscuit. Make balls of the above, with a little flour, the size of a chestnut; throw them into a stewpan of boiling lard, and boil them of a beautiful yellow brown. Drain them on a sieve.
Serve sweet sauce in a boat, to eat with them.
