Cook to Italian King Tells Dessert Recipe

Rome. —Here is a recipe given by Commendatore Petini, first cook to King Victor Emmanuel of Italy. It makes a dainty dish to set before a king and yet it is quite simple. Peel and stone ripe apricots putting in the place left by the stone a lump of almond paste. Roll them in finely powdered biscuits, dip them in the beaten yolk of an egg and then in fine bread crumb's. Melt butter in an earthenware, fireproof shallow dish, put in your apricots and dry them fast. Drain in the usual way and serve with fine sugar flavored with vanilla.
