--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2                    eggs
     1/2  cup           powdered sugar
   4      tablespoons   water
     1/2  teaspoon      almond flavoring
   1      cup           cake flour -- sifted

Preparation:

Butter a baking sheet and dust it lightly with flour. Heat oven to 350F. Beat eggs and gradually mix in sugar while beating until mixture is very thick. Beat water in a T at a time. Add and beat in the almond flavoring, preferably with an electric mixer, as it must be thorough. Very gently fold in the flour to mix, but do not beat. Drop the batter by level tablespoonfuls on the buttered sheet 5 inches apart. Bake until very lightly browned. Remove from oven and shape while still quite warm, inserting fortunes. Let cool in glasses to hold the form.
