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.”<\/p>\n

Fattigman<\/p>\n

– 6 egg yolks
\n– 1\/3 cup sugar
\n– 1\/2 cup cream
\n– 1 tablespoon brandy (or 1 teaspoon brandy extract)
\n– 1 teaspoon cardamom (or nutmeg; my mother often substituted nutmeg in recipes that called for cardamom)
\n– 1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n– 2 to 3 cups flour<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
