A Little Gum-Dragon-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

After the finely sifted spices have been added for the receipt (recipe) To make Biscuits of Potatoes, the final ingredient is a little Gum-Dragon steep'd in Orange-flower water till it becomes a Paste.  Gum-Dragon is a term used in historic receipts for gum tragacanth which is a natural gum produced by the shrubs from the genus Astragulus.
