Peanut Macaroons I

Ingredients

 * The whites of 3 eggs
 * 1 teaspoonful of flour
 * ¼ teaspoonful of cream of tartar
 * 1 pint of peanuts (chopped to a powder)
 * 1 cup of granulated sugar

Directions
To prepare this Peanut Macaroons Recipe 1, first beat the whites of the eggs until foamy; add the cream of tartar and beat until dry, then gradually beat in half of the sugar and continue bearing until the whole is very light; then cut and fold in the other half of the sugar, the flour and the crushed nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a tin, lined with a buttered paper, making smooth rounds. Sift granulated sugar on the top of each and bake on the floor of a quick oven from five to seven minutes. Meats from English walnuts or other nuts may take the plaze of the peanuts. A cherry or bit of firm fruit jelly pressed into the center of the top of each round is an improvement.
