English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 2780 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Scald, peel and rinse ½ pound (1½ glasses) of sweet almonds. Dry thoroughly and slice each almond lengthways into fine strips.
Pound and sift ½ pound of sugar, add juice of 1 lemon and stir in a stone bowl until white like icing. Fold in the sliced almonds, shape small wreaths, place on wafers or a sheet brushed with wax and bake in a gentle oven.
