½ pound of butter.
½ pound of powdered sugar.
1 teaspoonful mixed spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace, and a few raisins.
3 eggs, well beaten.
Juice of 1 lemon, and half the grated peel.
Roll out rather thin, and cut into round or oval cakes. Sprinkle a little white sugar over the top; lay a whole raisin in the centre of each, and bake quickly until crisp.
