Peanut Macaroons I

== Ingredients ==
* 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 ==
# 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.
# Nut meats from English walnuts or other nuts may take the place of the peanuts.
# A cherry or bit of firm fruit jelly pressed into the center of the top of each round is an improvement.
