and mix all together very well and let it lie till cold : put 

 crust in your pattipans, and fill them little more than half 

 full : bake them in a quick oven half an hour, sift some double 

 refin'd sugar on them as they go into the oven ; this quantity 

 will make a dozen small pattipans. E. Smith, The Compleat 

 Housewife, 1736. 



To MAKE BISCUITS OF POTATOES. (From Mrs. Mary Gor- 

 don.) Boil the Roots of Potatoes till they are tender ; then 

 peel them, and take their weight of fine Sugar, finely sifted ; 

 grate some Lemon-Peel on the Sugar; and then beat the 

 Potatoes and Sugar together, in a Stone Mortar, with some 

 Butter, a little Mace, or Cloves, finely sifted, and a little 

 Gum Dragon, steeped in Orange-Flower Water, or Rose- 

 Water, till it becomes a Paste ; then make it into Cakes with 

 Sugar, finely powder'd, and dry them in a gentle Oven. 

 R. Bradley, The Country Housewife and Lady's Director, 

 1732. 



POTATOE-PUDDING BAKED. (From Mr. Shepherd of Wind- 

 mill Street.) Boil some fair Potatoes till they are tender; 

 then, when they are made clean, bruise them in a Marble 

 Mortar, till they become a Paste, with some Mace powder'd, 

 some Sugar and the Pulp of Oranges, with a Naples Biscuit 

 or two grated in, and a large Carrot grated. Add to these 

 some Orange-Flower Water; and when all these are well 

 mix'd, put to them some butter'd Eggs, with some slices of 

 Butter laid upon your Pudding, when it is put into the Dish, 

 or Pan. A little baking will serve for it; and when it is 

 enough, serve it hot, with a garnish of Sliced Lemon or 

 Orange. Some will put this into a Paste, but not cover it 

 over. Ibid. 



To MAKE A WHYTE-SYLLABUB. Put a Pint of White-wine, 

 and a Pint of Mulberry, or black Cherry Juice, into a wooden 

 Bowl ; add also a Pint of Cream, sweeten it with Sugar, and 

 put in a large perfumed Comfit, put a Branch or two of 

 Rosemary stript from the Leaves, among some Willow-twigs 

 peeled, and wind a Lemon-peel about your Willow-twigs, etc.
