  2. put them into a basin, and stir to them the butter, which should be beaten to a cream;

  4. Butter a baking-sheet, and drop on it a teaspoonful of the mixture at a time, leaving a space between each.
  5. Bake in a cool oven; watch the pieces of paste, and, when half done, roll them up like wafers, and put in a small wedge of bread or piece of wood, to keep them in shape.
  6. Return them to the oven until crisp.
  7. Before serving, remove the bread, put a spoonful of preserve in the widest end, and fill up with whipped cream.
  8. This is a very pretty and ornamental dish for the supper-table, and is very nice and very easily made.
