Take two pound of floure dryed in the Oven and weighed after it is
dryed, then put to it one pound of Butter that must be layd an hour or
two in Rose-water, so done poure the Water from the Butter, and put the
Butter to the flowre with the yolks and whites of five Eggs, two races
of Ginger, and three quarters of a pound of Sugar, a little salt, grate
your spice, and it well be the better, knead all these together till you
may rowle the past, then roule it forth with the top of a bowle, then
prick them with a pin made of wood, or if you have a comb that hath not
been used, that will do them quickly, and is best to that purpose, so
bake them upon Pye plates, but not too much in the Oven, for the heat of
the Plates will dry them very much, after they come forth of the Oven,
you may cut them without the bowles of what bignesse or what fashion you
please.
