These are the real, old-time honey cakes as made by Aunt Sarah's grandmother on a "Bucks County" farm, and Mary's Aunt informed her she still remembered in her earlier days having bought these cakes at "Bucks County" sales or "vendues," as they were then designated.
LEMON WAFERS OR DROP CAKES
- 2 eggs.
- ½ pound butter.
- ½ pound sugar.
- ½ pound flour.
- Pinch of salt.
- Flavor with lemon essence.
Mix the same as other small cakes. Drop spoonfuls quite a distance apart on the cold pan or tin on which they are to be baked as the dough spreads. These are very thin, delicious wafers when baked.

- 2 cups granulated sugar, and
- 2 eggs, all creamed together; then add
- 1 teaspoon soda (mix with a little sour milk).
