Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

BASIC DOUGH ====================
250 g butter (or margarine)
2 T sour cream
100 g sugar
4 egg yolks
375 g flour
1 flour for rolling out
1 butter (or shortening for)
-greasing t,he pan
FILLING ========================
4 egg whites
250 g sugar
4 packages vanilla sugar
250 g (or grated nuts),Chopped

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.
