Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. Must
  2. a pound of sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Powder brown cassia, about as much as will lit, upon half-a-crown, with a little musk and ambergris.
  2. Boil a quarter of a pound of sugar to candy height;
  3. mix in the powder, and pour it into saucers;
  4. they must be buttered thin, and when cold the whole will slip out easily.
