Take a quarter of a pound of searsed [sieved] Sugar, and beat it in an Alabaster Mortar with the white of an Egg, and a little Gum Dragon [gum tragacanth] steept in Rose water to bring it to a perfect Paste, then mould it up with a little Anniseed and a grain of Musk; then make it up like Dutch bread, and bake it on a Pye-plate in a warm Oven, till they rise somewhat high and white, take them out, but handle them not till they be throughly dry and cold.
