Poor Man's Cake A Norwegian Recipe Recipe
Twenty yolks of eggs, five whites of eggs, a pound and a quarter of
sugar, one pint of sweet cream or rich milk, a sherry glass of cognac,
one cup of melted butter, a little pounded cardamom seed, and enough
flour to roll thin. Beat the eggs together until light, add the sugar
and beat again, then the cream, cognac and butter. Melt the butter and
pour off from the salt. Cinnamon may be used instead of cardamom seed.
Roll the dough as thin as paper, cut with a jagging iron in oblong
pieces, slit one end with the iron and pass the other end through it.
Fry in boiling fat, drain on paper, and when perfectly cold put in a
stone jar. These cakes will keep for months.
