Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 pound sifted pulverized sugar
2 quarts flour, sifted twice.
2 small teaspoonfuls baking powder.
Preparation:
- Beat whites and yolks of eggs separately, mix with sugar and beat well. Add flour until you have a smooth dough.
- Roll out pieces of dough, which should be half an inch thick. Press the dough on a floured form or mold, lift the mold, cut out the cakes thus designed and let lie until next day on a floured bread board.
- The next day grease pans well, sprinkle anise seed over the pans in which the cakes are to be baked; lay in cakes an inch apart and bake in a moderate oven to a straw color. The form used usually makes six impressions or cakes 1 1/2 inches square, leaving the impression of a small figure or flower on surface when dough is pressed on form.
