• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1-½ tablespoons corn starch
• 1 cup flour

To prepare this Petits Fours Recipe, first to the beaten yolks of the eggs, add sugar and cold water. Sift the cornstarch with the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to first mixture. Beat well and add the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and any flavoring desired. Bake for one-half hour in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) in shallow pans. When cool, cut in small circles, split, scoop out a little of the crumb from the center of each and fill cavities with whipped cream or any prepared filling. Press together in pairs, dip in melted fondant, decorate with nuts, glace fruits, and so forth, and place each little cake in a paper case.
