• 6 Sweet Potatoes
• ¾ Pound of Fine Sugar
• ¾ Pound of Butter
• The Zest of a Lemon, Grated Fine
• ¼ Cupful of Good Brandy
• ½ Grated Nutmeg
• 4 Ground Allspice
• A Piece of Ground Cinnamon
• A Pint of Milk, or Cream
• Powdered White Sugar

Boil or bake the potatoes, peel and press through a very fine sieve, the finer the better. Add the yolks of three eggs, and beat well. Add the butter, beating well and thoroughly, and add the sugar and milk. Beat all very light, and add the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff froth. Mix thoroughly, add the grated nutmeg, ground spices, and blend well. Add finally, if desired, a wineglassful of good old Brandy or Whisky, and set the pan with the Potatoes in an oven and let bake for an hour. Place a brown paper on top for the first three-quarters of an hour, and take it off at the last quarter for the frangipane to brown nicely. Sprinkle with powdered white sugar. Serve hot or cold.
