a Spoon, then mix them well together, and lay them upon Wafer sheets,
upon flowered Plates, and shape them as you please with your knife and
your fingers; then strew Caraway Comfits, and Orange and Citron Pill cut
thin, or some Coriander Comfits, so set them into an Oven not too hot,
and when they have stood about half an hour, raise them from their
Plates, and mend what you find amiss before they be too dry, then set
them into the Oven again, and when they are quite dry, break away the
Wafers with your fingers, and then clip them neatly with a pair of
Scizzers, and lay on some Leaf-Gold if you please.


183. _To make an excellent Cake with Caraway Comfits._

Take five Pounds of Manchet Paste mingled very stiff and light without
Salt, cover it, and let it be rising half an hour, when your Oven is
almost hot, take two pounds and half of Butter, very good, and melt it,
and take five Eggs, Yolks and Whites beaten, and half a pound of Sugar,
mingle them all together with your Paste, and let it be as lithe as
possible you can work it, and when your Oven is hot and swept, strew
into your Cake one Pound of Caraway Comfits, then butter a baking-Pan,
and bake it in that, let it stand one hour and quarter; when you draw
it, lay a course Linnen Cloth and a Woollen one over it, so let it lie
till it be cold, then put it into an Oven the next day, for a little
time, and it will eat as though it were made of Almonds, you must put in
your Sugar after your Butter.


184. _To make Diet Bread or Jumbolds._

Take a Quart of fine Flower, half a Pound of fine Sugar, Caraway seeds,
