Jewish cooking
One pound of almonds ground fine, one and one-half pounds of powdered
sugar, the whites of five eggs and the grated rind of two lemons. Beat
the whites of eggs to a snow, add the sugar and the grated lemon rind
and almonds; mix it well together. Grease a very thin paper with olive
oil, sprinkle some powdered sugar over it, place on a tin. Form the
cakes and place them a little distance from each other and bake in a
very moderate oven. When done let them cool before you touch them.
CINNAMON STICKS
Grate one-half pound of almonds, beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff
froth, add gradually one pound of pulverized sugar and a tablespoon of
cinnamon. Roll out this dough into half finger lengths and about as
thick as your little finger. Bake, and when done ice each one with
boiled frosting.
IMBERLACH
Take two cups of matzoth flour, one-quarter pound of powdered ginger,
mix together with three eggs. Set this dough aside until it dries. Take
one-half pound of honey and three-quarters pound of sugar and boil until
it gets a reddish color. Beat in the ginger and matzoth dough, mix it
with honey, set back on stove, stirring constantly; when the mixture is
thick and a reddish color, place on the board so as to cool; roll and
cut in two-inch lengths.
KREMSLEKH
To each tablespoon of matzoth-meal take one egg, a pinch of salt, half a
teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of ground almonds, a few stoned and
chopped raisins, a pinch of ground cinnamon, a spoon of oil, or its
equivalent of beef dripping, and just enough water to make the whole
into a stiff paste. Mix the ingredients very thoroughly.
Now take a large enamelled saucepan and about half fill it with oil or
fat. Bring this to boiling point but do not let it burn. Shape the paste
into small pieces and drop them into boiling fat, turning them
continually until well browned and then take out and drain carefully on
a strainer. May be eaten hot or cold.
EGG MARMALADE
Make a thick syrup by dissolving one pound of sugar in one-half pint of
water over the fire, adding one ounce of pounded almonds while the syrup
is clarifying. Take the saucepan off the fire and when the contents have
become moderately cool stir in carefully the well-beaten yolks of twenty
eggs. It will need rather prolonged stirring to blend the eggs with the
syrup. Now flavor with vanilla or wine and cook over a slow fire,
stirring constantly and taking great care that the mixture does not
burn.
