by LeAnn R. Ralph Fattigman (pronounced "futty-mun") is a deep-fried Norwegian cookie that my sister made sometimes when I was a kid and that was also served after the Sunday school Christmas program. Fattigman means "poor man's cookies" or "poor man's donuts." Fattigman - 6 egg yolks - 1/3 cup sugar - 1/2 cup cream - 1 tablespoon brandy (or 1 teaspoon brandy extract) - 1 teaspoon cardamom (or nutmeg; my mother often substituted nutmeg in recipes that called for cardamom) - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 2 to 3 cups flour Beat egg yolks and sugar on high speed with an electric mixer for five minutes. Stir in cream, brandy, and cardamom. Mix in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Roll dough very thin and cut into two-inch by two-inch pieces. Cut a slit in the middle and pull one of the points through the slit. Deep-fry until golden brown. When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar. I put powdered sugar in a plastic container with a cover, add some fattigman and shake gently to coat them. LeAnn R. Ralph is the author of the farm books: "Christmas in Dairyland (True Stories from a Wisconsin Farm) (trade paperback; 2003), "Give Me a Home Where the Dairy Cows Roam" (trade paperback; 2004), "Preserve Your Family History (A Step-by-Step Guide for Interviewing Family Members and Writing Oral Histories" (e-book; 2004). |
