  1. Dissolve hartshorn in the milk for 1 hour.

  4. Beat in the hartshorn and milk, salt, flavouring oil and grated citrus peel, if using.
  5. Gradually beat in as much of the flour as possible with the mixer, then stir in the rest of the flour to make a stiff dough.
  6. Turn the dough onto floured surface and knead in more flour until stiff enough to make a good print.
  7. The amount of flour needed will depend on the size of the eggs and amount of humidity.
