and mixed, set the paste on the fire and boil it; stir it
into a basin to cool ; then put to it the yolks of eight eggs,
a sufficient quantity of sugar, the whites of four eggs beaten
to a snow, and two spoonfuls of orange-flower water. Take a
mould, butter the inside 'well, sprinkle the sides over with
bread-crumbs, and pour in the above preparation ; bake till
nicely coloured, when it may be turned on to a dish. Serve
