Ratafias

fat for greasing
2 egg whites
150 g (5 oz) caster sugar
100 g (4 oz) ground almonds
10 ml (2 tsp) ground rice

Grease a baking sheet and cover with rice paper. Set the oven at 160 c
(325 f) gas 3. In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until
frothy but not stiff enough to form peaks. Stir in the sugar, ground
almonds and ground rice. Beat with a wooden spoon until thick and white.
Using a coffee spoon, place tiny heaps of the mixture on the rice paper,
allowing a little room for spreading. The biscuits should be no more than
2 cm (3/4 inch) in diameter. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until pale fawn
in colour. Transfer to a wire rack and cool.

Ratafias

Mrs Beetons Baking Recipes Revisited

340g (12oz) Caster Sugar
225g (8oz) Sweet Almonds
110g (4oz) Bitter Ones
4 Egg Whites

Blanch, skin and dry the almonds and pound them in a mortar with one egg
white. Stir in the sugar and gradually add the remaining stiffly whisked
egg whites. Pipe the mixture using a small biscuit syringe [piping bag]
on to cartridge paper. Bake the cakes for 10 to 12 minutes in rather a
quicker oven than for macaroons. A very small quantity should be dropped
on the paper to form one cake, as, when baked, the ratafias should be
about the size of a large button.

Time: 10 to 12 minutes.

Ratafias

1/2 lb. of sweet almonds
1/4 lb. of bitter almonds
3/4 lb. of sifted loaf sugar
the whites of 4 eggs.

Blanch, skin, and dry the almonds, and pound them in a mortar with the
white of an egg; stir in the sugar, and gradually add the remaining
whites of eggs, taking care that they are very thoroughly whisked. Drop
the mixture through a small biscuit-syringe on to cartridge paper, and
bake the cakes from 10 to 12 minutes in rather a quicker oven than for
macaroons. A very small quantity should be dropped on the paper to form
one cake, as, when baked, the ratafias should be about the size of a
large button.

Time - 10 to 12 minutes.
Average cost, 1s. 8d. per lb.
