Snow Cream
Take the richest cream you can procure, season it with a few drops of
essence of lemon, or syrup of lemon peel, and powdered white sugar, and
if you choose a spoonful of preserve syrup, and just as you send it to
table, stir in light newly fallen snow till it is nearly as stiff as
ice cream.

Beat the whites of eight eggs till they will stand alone; put with them,
a little at a time, a pound of powdered sugar; roll a lemon in some of
the sugar till the flavor is extracted. After it is beaten very well,
drop it in heaps about the size of half an egg on a sheet of paper;
smooth them over with a spoon, and let them be of a regular shape; bake
them in an oven that has been moderately heated, till they are of a pale
brown color; do not have the oven too cool, or they will run together;
take them from the papers carefully, and stick two together.
