• 1 1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
• 2 Tbsp. sweet butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
• 1 c. sour milk (follows)
• 3 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. soda
• 2 tsp. baking powder

• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg or mace
• 1 tsp. grated lemon peel

1. In a saucepan over hot, but not boiling, water, melt the unsweetened chocolate with 2 tablespoons sweet butter.
2. Cool. Meanwhile, beat 3 eggs with sugar and sour milk.
3. Still beating, add the chocolate and butter mixture.
4. Sift flour with soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg or mace; add lemon peel.
5. Blend the sifted ingredients into the egg mixture; beat a few strokes. Chill the dough for easier handling. Turn onto a lightly floured board.
