150 A TREATISE ON NUT CULTURE. 



Hickory-Nut Macaroons. 



In response to our request for a recipe for Hickory-nut Macaroons, we 

 have received a number of replies, from which we select the following as 

 differing from others, and also recommended as having been tried and found 

 successful : 



Two cupfuls of finely-chopped hickory-nut meats, two eggs, four table- 

 spoonfuls of sifted flour, one cupful of sifted, pulverized sugar; flavor with 

 almond extract. Beat the eggs very light, beating in the flour slowly, then 

 the sugar by spoonfuls. Add the meats last. Bake on buttered paper in a .slow 

 oven. 



MRS. CHAS. STRICKLAND. 



One cupful of chopped nuts, one cupful of pulverized sugar, one egg ( yolk 

 and white beaten separately), one tablespoonful of flour. Mix the nuts and 

 sugar, then the yolk, then the white, and lastly the flour. Accuracy is very 

 essential in measuring these ingredients. 



MRS. G. T. ANDREWS. 



.Beat the whites of five eggs to a stiff froth, then add one pound of pul- 

 verized sugar, one pound of kernels chopped, and two tablespoonfuls of flour. 

 Drop half tablespoonfuls of the batter on. a sheetiron pan, and bake in a quick 

 oven.
