MMMMM----- Recipe via UNREGISTERED Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Vanilla-Nut "Wolfzahne" Categories: German, Cookie Yield: 4 Servings MMMMM------------------------BASIC DOUGH----------------------------- 250 g Butter or margarine 2 tb Sour cream 100 g Sugar 4 Egg yolks 375 g Flour Flour for rolling out Butter or shortening for -greasing the pan MMMMM--------------------------FILLING------------------------------- 4 Egg whites 250 g Sugar 4 Packages vanilla sugar 250 g Chopped or grated nuts Cream the butter or margarine with the sour cream and sugar. When creamed, add the egg yolks one by one. Blend in the flour. When a dough starts to form, knead it briefly with the hands. Flour the work surface and roll the dough out. Cut into strips about 2 cm wide by five cm long. Place these strips in the lightly greased pan ("backblech"), cover with a clean kitchen towel or dishtowel, and let stand overnight in a cool place. The next day, whip the egg whites until stiff. Add the vanilla sugar and the chopped/grated nuts to the egg whites, and mix well. The mixture should be handled lightly, so as to remain fluffy. If the mixture becomes too runny, thicken with a small amount of flour. Fill an icing bag with the mixture and pipe it into the dough-strips in the baking pan. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C and bake the cakes for about 10 minutes. (from an archived message from the German newsgroup zer.t-netz.essen) MMMMM
