      VENETIAN CAKE
Mrs. Henry C. Buckner

  1/2 cupful of butter,

  1/2 cupful of powdered sugar,

  1 1/2 cupfuls of flour,

  1 teaspoonful of vanilla,

  1/2 cupful of almonds,

  Yolks of 3 eggs.

Cream butter and sugar very light; add yolks well-beaten, the almonds cut; mix
and add vanilla and stir in lightly the flour. The dough should be rather soft.
Take a small piece at a time, drop into powdered sugar, roll in the hands in a
ball an inch in diameter. Put a piece of pistachio nut on the top. Place the
balls a little distance apart on a floured pan, and bake in a moderate oven 10
or 15 minutes. They will look like macaroons.
