RECIPE

Transparent Tarts.
Take one pound of flour ; beat up an egg till it is quite
thin, then melt three-quarters of a pound of clarified fresh
butter to mix with the egg, and as soon as the mixture is
cool, pour into the centre of the flour and form the paste.
Roll it thin, make up the tarts, and on setting them in
the oven, wet them over with a little water and grate on
them a small quantity of sugar.
