1810

A pound [454 gm] of flour, a half-pound [227 gm] of butter, the same of sifted sugar and currants. Make this into a paste with two eggs, two spoonfuls of orange-flower-water, a glass of brandy, and one of sweet wine. Mix up quickly, and drop the batter through a biscuit-funnel on floured tins, and bake for five or six minutes.

Notes:
This is a good example of: quite large quantities, obscure terms: orange-flower-water and biscuit-funnel, and vague instructions!
