How To Make fattigman (norwegian cookies)

• Step 1
  Beat egg yolks and salt until thick and light in color. Add in cream, sugar and butter. Mix well.
• Step 2
  Add flour and cardamom to egg mixture. Mix well. Chill one hour.
• Step 3
  Roll out 1/4 of the dough at a time, keeping the rest of the dough in the refrigerator. Roll a 1/16 inch thick rectangle. Using a fattigman cutter or a pastry cutter cut in 1 1/2-inch wide strips then cut diagonally at 4-inch intervals (making diamonds). Cut a 1 inch slit lengthwise in center of each piece. Slip one end of the diamond through the cut and pull through gently.

  Fry a few at a time in hot oil (350*) for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
