*Bottle Cakes
¹⁄₂ lb. butter
¹⁄₂ lb. sifted sugar
¹⁄₂ lb. flour
Juice and grated rind of half a lemon
2 eggs
Cream the butter. Add the sugar. Beat the eggs and add with the rest of the ingredients, beating all thoroughly. Grease a baking tin and drop the mixture on it by tea-spoonfuls. Bake about five minutes in a moderate oven. Slip the cakes off the tin with a knife. Lay a number of bottles on their sides on a table. Lay the cakes on them to cool, and press gently down on the bottles in order to give them a rounded shape. These cakes should be very thin and richly coloured round the edges.
