Mix together as quickly as possible two cupfuls of sugar with one of butter, then the beaten yolks and lastly the stiffly whipped whites of three eggs, and a teaspoonful extract of lemon. Mix in just enough flour to roll the mass out very thin and cut it into domino shape. After the cakes are in the pan, brush with the white of an egg, using a feather, and sprinkle them with comfits. Bake a light brown. These are delicious and pretty, and will keep fresh a long time.
