Geneva Wafers
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3 oz butter
- 3 oz flour
- 3 oz pounded sugar
Instructions
- Well whisk the eggs;
- put them into a basin, and stir to them the butter, which should be beaten to a cream;
- add the flour and sifted sugar gradually, and then mix all well together.
- Butter a baking-sheet, and drop on it a teaspoonful of the mixture at a time, leaving a space between each.
- 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.
- Return them to the oven until crisp.
- Before serving, remove the bread, put a spoonful of preserve in the widest end, and fill up with whipped cream.
- This is a very pretty and ornamental dish for the supper-table, and is very nice and very easily made.
