• 4 ounces butter
• 4 ounces loaf-sugar
• 3 lemons
• 3 eggs
• nutmeg

1. Warm four ounces of butter and mix it with the same quantity of loaf-sugar sifted.
2. Grate in the rind of three lemons and squeeze in the juice of one.
3. Add three well-beaten eggs, a little nutmeg, and a spoonful of brandy.
