| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Hard-boil 2 eggs, cool and sieve the yolks.
|
2. Add to the 2 whole eggs, with the sugar, and whisk together until beginning to thicken.
|
3. Beat in alternately small portions of butter (not melted) and flour until the whole is a smooth paste.
|
4. Put in a cool place until mixture is firm enough to handle 1 - 2 hours.
|
5. Roll out portions lightly on a floured board into long, thin "snakes" the thickness of your little finger.
|
6. Cut in lengths of 2-3 inches, join into rings, and brush with egg white and dredge with granulated sugar.
|
7. Bake on a greased tray in a moderate oven (350°F) for 10-15 minutes.
|
8. The cakes should remain yellowish in color.
|
9. Place on a wire rack to cool and crisp. Store in an airtight tin.

NOTE:
|
|
A little grated orange rind gives added flavor. These are soft biscuits, perfect with coffee.
