My Children Love Homemade Chocolate Wafers

Hello There,

My children like all the other love sweets. When Timmy, and Sandy are on good behavior, they get rewarded. Usually we bake a great chocolate dessert, or entree. They have been on their best behavior the last week or so. I decided to make chocolate wafers. You can try the recipe out too.

CHOCOLATE WAFERS

Grate four ounces of Walter Baker & Co.’s Premium No. 1 Chocolate, and mix with it two tablespoonfuls of flour and one-fourth of a teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and baking powder. Separate six eggs. Add one cupful of powdered sugar to the yolks, and beat until very light; then add the grated yellow rind and the juice of half a lemon, and beat five minutes longer. Now add the dry mixture, and with a spoon lightly cut in the whites, which are first to be beaten to a stiff froth. Pour the mixture into buttered shallow pans, having it about half an inch thick. Bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. When the cake is cool, spread a thin layer of currant jelly over one sheet, and place the other sheet on this. Ice with vanilla icing; and when this hardens, cut in squares. It is particularly nice to serve with ice-cream.
