BUTTERSCOTCH PARFAIT Put in small saucepan 1 1/4 cups brown sugar 2 tablespoons butter and 1 1/2 cup water; stir until sugar is melted and boil without stirring to 238 degrees F. or until syrup forms a soft ball when tried in cold water. Pour slowly onto 3 egg yolks well beaten, and beat until cold and thick. (This mixture may be made the day before and kept in a cool place, if desired.) Fold in 3 egg whites beaten stiff 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cups heavy cream beaten stiff and 1/2 cup nut meats broken in pieces. Put in paper cases, sprinkle with nuts and place in can of ice cream freezer with waxed paper and cardboard between the layers. Surround can with ice and salt, allowing 2 quarts ice mixed with 1 quart salt, using more ice and salt mixture, if necessary. Leave 4 hours or until frozen. Mixture may be frozen in small baking powder boxes or ice cream molds instead of in the paper cases.

Bake in greased and floured muffin tins not more than 2 inches in diameter. The finished cakes should be not more than three-fourths of an inch thick. Remove soft centers from cakes, taking them out from the top; fill cakes with Cocoa Butter Cream, put cakes together in pairs with the filling inside, cover with White Butter Cream and cover entire cake with thin Coffee Frosting. Decorate with reserved cream forced through a very small pastry tube of paper or tin. The butter cream may be omitted and cakes be merely frosted on top if preferred. BUTTER CREAM, COCOA AND WHITE Work 1/3 cup washed or fresh sweet butter until very light and creamy, add 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla very gradually, and beat until very light. Reserve 2 tablespoons mixture for decoration. Divide remainder in two portions. To one portion add 1 tablespoon dry cocoa. Whip 4 tablespoons cream and add two-thirds of it to the white butter cream and fold remainder into that which contains the cocoa. Use as filling for cakes.
