Hi, I just came accross your ayer kichel post.

Here is my tested and tried recipe that is probably the same one.

3 eggs
1/2 glass oil
1/2 glass sugar
3 1/2 glasses of flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder(12gr)
olive oil and rough grain salt

In this recipe the whole eggs are beaten with the sugar before adding the rest of the ingreds.

Rolled to 1mm thick (I use my pasta machine) they are then brushed with oil and sprinkled with salt and baked in a medium oven for about 15 mins (they should feel hard and crispy when you take them out.

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

What about baking time in the oven?
How long should they be in the oven for and what heat?

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.

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 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...

Okay, now I'm rethinking "bit vajt"-- could it also be an instruction to "beat [the egg] whites"?

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."
