The
StilURoom
Iced
Coffee.
—
Make
strong
coffee
from
freshly
ground
berries,
add
cold
milk
and
a
little
sifted
sugar.
Put
the
coffee
into
glass
jugs,
and
set
these
on
ice
for
at
least
two
hours
before
use.
If
pieces
of
ice
are
put
into
the
coffee
the
flavour
is
spoilt.

—
(i)
One
pound
of
fine
flour
and
two
ounces
of
butter
well
rubbed
together.
Add
a
pinch
of
salt.
Mix
with
cold
water
to
a
very
stiff
paste,
and
beat
it
well
with
a
rolling-pin.
Break
the
paste
into
pieces
the
size
of
a
walnut,
and
roll
each
into
a
round.
Prick
each
biscuit
with
a
biscuit-pricker.
Put
them
on
a
very
hot
baking-sheet,
and
bake
in
a
very
quick
oven.
(2)
Rub
an
ounce
of
butter
into
a
handful
of
fine
flour.
Make
it
into
a
stiff,
smooth
paste
with
warm
milk
and
the
white
of
an
egg
beaten
to
a
froth.
Beat
the
paste
with
a
rolling-pin
for
half
an
hour
or
longer,
for
the
delicacy
of
the
biscuits
depends
upon
the
length
of
time
they
are
beaten.
Then
take
small
pieces
of
the
paste
and
roll
them
out
to
the
size
of
a
saucer.
They
must
be
so
thin
as
to
be
almost
transparent.
Bake
the
biscuits
very
lightly.
Water
biscuits
are
often
liked
at
dinner
instead
of bread
or
toast.
