Soak in some cream, nutmeg, sugar, pounded cinnamon, and an egg. When well soaked, fry of a nice brown, and serve with butter, wine, and sugar sauce. _Potatoe Fritters._ Boil two large potatoes, and scrape them fine: beat four yelks and three whites of eggs, and add to the above, with one large spoonful of cream, another of sweet wine, a squeeze of lemon, and a little nutmeg. Beat this batter half an hour at least. It will be extremely light. Put a good quantity of fine lard in a stewpan, and drop a spoonful of the batter at a time into it: fry them; and serve as a sauce, a glass of white wine, the juice of a lemon, one dessert spoonful of peachleaf, or almond water, and some white sugar warmed together: not to be served in the dish. _Cheesecakes._ Strain the whey from the curd of two quarts of milk. When rather dry, crumble it through a coarse sieve, and mix with six ounces of fresh butter, one ounce of pounded blanched almonds, a little orange flower water, half a glass of raisin wine, a grated biscuit, four ounces of currants, some nutmeg, and cinnamon, in fine powder, and beat all the above with three eggs, and half a pint of cream, till quite light; then fill the pattypans three parts full. _A plainer sort._ Turn three quarts of milk to curd: break it, and drain the whey. When dry, break it in a pan, with two ounces of butter, till perfectly smooth: put to it a pint and a half of thin cream or good milk, and add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and three ounces of currants. _Cheesecakes, another way._ Mix the curd of three quarts of milk, a pound of currants, twelve ounces of Lisbon
