Break seven eggs into a deep pan, leaving out three of the whites. Put ten ounces of loaf-sugar in a pint of water; set it over the fire until the scum rises; pour it over the eggs; add a tea-spoonful of grated lemon peel, and the juice of a lemon. Whisk them for twenty minutes; shake in half a pound of flour; pour it into a tin, and put it into the oven immediately.
