Cheesecakes: Put to a Gallon of new Milk half a pint of Runnet, let it stand till it is curdled; then put the Curd into a Linnen-Cloath, tye it up, and by laying a Weight on it, press out the Whey; which being done, beat up the Curds with Yolks of Eggs, White-wine, and Rose-water, with a little Su∣gar dissolved in the latter; then add half a pound of Currants washed clean from Gravel and Stones; make up all these Materials into a Puff-past of fine Flower, Eggs, Butter, Ale, Yest, and as much Milk as will fashion it; beat it with a Rolling-pin till it is of an equal temper, then take and roul it up into little Balls, spread them out into round flat pieces as thin as is convenient: make them into what fashion you please. When they come to be turned up, put the Curds and other Ma∣terials in the middle of them, then wet them round with Water, turn up and pinch the Corners, and put them into due proportion, and when baked, strew them over with Sugar mixed with Powder of Cinamon, or without, and sprinkle over them Rose-wa∣ter, and so serve them up.
