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.
