Rub the flour into the butter; stir in the pounded sugar and very
finely-minced lemon-peel, and when these ingredients are thoroughly
mixed, add the eggs, which should be previously well whisked, and the
lemon-juice. Beat the mixture well for a minute or two, then drop it
from a spoon on to a buttered tin, about 2" apart, as the cakes will
spread when they get warm; place the tin in the oven, and bake the
cakes of a pale brown from 15 to 20 minutes.
