Manuscript Mackaroons

Mackaroons

I am currently working on interpreting another manuscript receipt (recipe) book.  One of the first receipts I tried was to make Mackaroons.  The primary ingredient in the Mackaroons  is blanched almonds pounded in a marble mortar and pestle.  Pictured I am adding the white of 3 Eggs to a mixture of 24 Spoonsful of Sugar and the pounded almonds.  The only other ingredient is rose water.  The Mackaroons were spooned onto a paper lined tin sheet and placed in an almost slack bake oven.  They were heavenly!
