• 1 lb butter
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 8 large eggs, whites & yolks separated

1. Cream the butter and 2 cups sugar until fluffy.
2. Add the yolks, singly, beating each time, and add the flour alternatively with the flavouring and bourbon, beating till smooth.
3. Beat the whites stiff and add the rest of the sugar.
4. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites.
