ered sugar over them.
SHAVINGS (KRAUS-GEBACKENES)
Sift about one pint of flour in a bowl, make a depression in the centre;
break in five eggs, a pinch of salt, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon and
one tablespoon of pulverized sugar. Mix this as you would a noodle
dough, though not quite as stiff. Roll out very thin and cut into long
strips with a jagging iron. Fry a light yellow. Roll on a round stick as
soon as taken up from the fat or butter, sprinkle with sugar and
cinnamon or grated peel of a lemon. Mix both thoroughly. Do not let the
butter get too brown; if the fire is too strong take off a few minutes.
SNIP NOODLES, FRIED
Sift two cups of flour with three teaspoons of salt in it, make into a
dough by adding enough sweet milk to make soft as biscuit dough. Break
off small pieces and roll between the hands in the shape of croquettes.
Now put one-half cup of rendered butter in a skillet that has a top to
it; when the butter is hot, lay in the pieces of dough (do not put too
many in at one time), throw in one-half cup of cold water, put on the
cover and let cook until the water is cooked out and noodles are brown
on one side. Remove the cover and brown on the other side.
NOODLE PUFFS
Make a noodle dough with as many eggs as desired, roll out somewhat
thin, cut in strips four inches long by one inch wide.
Have a skillet half full of boiling hot chicken fat; drop in the strips,
a few at a time, baste with the hot grease until brown on both sides.
Remove to a platter, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and
cinnamon, and serve.
SNOWBALLS (HESTERLISTE)
Mix one teaspoon of butter, one-fourth teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon
of sugar with one egg. Add one tablespoon of cream, one teaspoon of
brandy and flour to make stiff dough. Work the whole together with a
spoon until the flour is incorporated with the other ingredients and you
have a dough easily handled. Break the dough in pieces about the size of
a walnut; roll each piece out separately just as thin as possible
without tearing (the thinner the better), make three lengthwise slashes
in the centre of each piece of dough after rolling out.
Heat a large deep skillet about half full with boiling hot butter or
Crisco, drop in the snowballs, not more than three at one time, brown
quickly on one side, then on the other, turn carefully with a perforated
skimmer as they are easily broken. Remove to a platter, sprinkle with
powdered sugar and
