Peppermint creams (or you can use any other flavouring) are easy sweets to make. You will require half a pound of icing sugar white of an egg, a pinch of tartaric acid (optional), a few drops of essence of peppermint, and, if too stiff when mixed, a little water. These things you can get from mother or cook. You don’t have to do any cooking, so you can start right away on the nursery table. Sieve the icing sugar with the tartaric acid. Beat the white of egg slightly. Mix it. well in with a -wooden spoon. Add water if needed." Roll out to about a quarter of an inch in thickness. Cut out the sweets now with a ■small pastry-cutter, and then dip each sweet into sugar, and lay in row’s- on grease-proof paper ito dry for tw'elve hours. •'
