Jane Eyre vocabulary

A cup and a half of granulated sugar, a cup and a half of butter, four eggs, one tablespoonful of caraway seed and flour to roll. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, add the yolks beaten light, then the caraway seed. Beat the whites of eggs to a stiff froth and add alternately with the flour—do not make the dough stiff. Roll thin, cut in small cakes and bake in a quick oven.
