Ayer Kichel
3 cups flour1/2 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
4 eggs (seperated) - Egg Whites Beaten
1/2 cup Wesson oil
Instructions: The instructions on this are still a bit unclear, but I think the process is that you mix the flour, sugar, oil and baking powder together. Fold in the whipped egg whites. Roll out and cut into triangles, then glaze with egg yolk and sprinkle with sugar. I have my doubts about this dough since I don't think there is enough liquid listed for the amount of flower, but I'll just need to try it, she probably added in water.

So where it says "bit vajt" under "4 eggs, separated," I feel like that might say "bit of white," but I'm not sure what that means that you do with the rest of the eggs.
In "1/2 vesen ol," I am pretty sure that "ol" is "oil," but I can't figure out what "vesen" is.
I think the last line, "sugar ed endi egjok," is an instruction: "add the sugar into the egg yolk."
Okay, now I'm rethinking "bit vajt"-- could it also be an instruction to "beat [the egg] whites"?
I think the first thing definitely means to beat the whites. If this is the recipe I am thinking of then you would mix all the ingredients except the egg whites, and then fold in the egg whites ala Julia Child.
Mixing the sugar and egg yolks is probably also right, in fact you probably beat that till it lightens in color, which is another standard technique.
No idea what the oil amount or time is though...
yes that says beat of white and yes it is wesson oil and add the sugar into the egg yolk. I know she topped the cookie that was a large misshappen triangle with sugar. Maybe she brushed it with egg whites and then sprinkled sugar. Aunt Frida would know.

I spoke to Aunt Frida last night about the eyer kichel and she confirmed that the beaten eggs and sugar are brushed on the top. I remember that bubba did not actually beat with a mixer the egg whites. She frothed it with a fork.

What about baking time in the oven?
How long should they be in the oven for and what heat?
Can't have soggy kichels with egg yolk on it lol
I have been looking everywhere for a recipe for ayer kichel without much luck. Maybe the missing liquid is the egg yolk in the kichel. Just a thought. How do they come out when you make them?-Jason
for the vesin oil comment - i think that means wesson oil
Or more likely "Wesson" oil pronounced with a accent. Good catch!
