I know my bubbie used to make Ayer Kichel all the time, but I can't remember which of her cookie shapes they were. I think that ayer is eggs and kichel is cookie, so a direct translation is simply just Egg Cookie. Most of this is relatively easy to translate, but I'm not sure what the end says; any ideas? Click on the image for a larger version if you have problems reading the one here. Also there is either more of this recipe written on the back side, or its a completely different recipe. I'll post that next.
Ayer Kichel
3 cups flour
1/2 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.
